“Is the quality of care high in hospice and palliative care centers?”
How can I be sure that the staff is adequately trained to deliver palliative care? Does increasing the number of staff increase the quality of care provided in all settings?

You may want to ask and look for available reviews about the organizations you are planning to work with. Additionally you may also want to know what complexity of a patient's that a particular organization is working with. As at times the currently available satisfaction scores may not be able to appropriately judge the quality of care. if some organization chooses to work with high complexity patient care measures are more than likely to receive poor scores compared to organizations taking on simpler complexity of patients.
Again, word of mouth can be useful more than certain online surveys. So please ask around within your family or friends or your physician that you trust.
Staff to patient ratio is definitely an important factor. At the same time it may also be important to know how many disciplines would be involved on a regular bases.
