- Short-term inpatient care
- Arranged through another hospital or nursing home
- Type of inpatient care
- Both general inpatient care and respite care
Short stays in a hospice inpatient unit, hospital, or nursing home for pain or symptoms that cannot be managed where the patient lives, or to give family caregivers a break.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking the right hospice is a big decision for your family. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. You should also ask how the team manages pain and keeps the patient comfortable. It is smart to ask how often the doctor visits the home to check on the patient's progress. Ask about their plan for after-hours support. You need to know who to call when you have a question at three in the morning. Ask if they have experience with the specific illness your loved one has. Does the hospice have a team that fits your family's needs? Get clear answers before you sign any paperwork. You deserve to feel confident about the care your loved one will receive during this time.
