What it is
- What changed

NJDOH also identifies hospice centers as facilities under Department jurisdiction for official care complaints, with an online complaint form and 24-hour complaint hotline.
- Why it matters
- End-of-life care raises both quality-of-care and legal-process questions. Families and providers need separate routes for hospice complaints, MAID documentation, and Medicare-affiliated grievances without treating GiveCare as an adjudicator.
- Who it touches
- Family caregivers, Care providers and plans, People receiving careterminally ill adults, family caregivers, hospice patients, hospice providers, attending physicians
- What it does
- Requires something of providers, companies or agencies
