The focus on Medicare home health benefits is timely and important. As our population ages, it's essential to ensure that seniors have access to the care they need in the comfort of their own homes. For those with advanced illnesses, understanding hospice care and its timeline, such as kidney failure hospice timeline, can be a valuable tool.
