Discrepancies between needed and received hospice care exist especially in rural areas. Hospice care quality ratings for 743 rural and urban patients and families were compared. Rural participants reported higher overall satisfaction and with pain/symptom management. Regardless of geographic location, satisfaction was higher when patients were informed and emotionally supported. Patients and family ratings did not differ. Findings support prior reports using retrospective rather than our study’s point-of care surveys.
