Eligibility Vs Readiness: Blue Monarch Hospice’s Approach to Care, Communication, And Census Growth

Tuesday, January 13, 2026 • Duration 35:14

Episode Summary

In this episode, you sit down with Raphael Akobundu, NP and CEO of Blue Monarch Hospice, serving families across North County San Diego. You unpack the difference between being eligible for hospice and being emotionally ready, common myths like 24/7 in-home care, and how clear communication with families and facilities reduces crisis decisions. Raphael also shares practical playbooks for reviews, referral partnerships, and what actually drives census growth in a competitive market.

The 24/7 misconception and how to set expectations
