What is Continuous Home Care?
Continuous Home Care or CHC is one of the four levels of Hospice Care covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. Continuous Home Care aims to quickly address the patient’s acute medical symptoms, regain calm, and achieve palliation. CHC is only needed during brief periods (from 8 to 24 hours). This type of service is performed at the patient’s home.
