Hospice in transition: Kentucky 1982-85.

The ratio of hospice patients to 100 Kentuckians dying of cancer was 8 in 1982 and 12 in 1985. The primary increase occurred in the number of patients served by three hospices which became Medicare-certified during that time period. During this period, the average age of hospice patients increased, and patients became more likely to die at home. Hospices in some counties may have served about 40 per cent of terminally ill cancer patients.
