Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what ENHABIT HOSPICE reported, not a check of what it offers today. Confirm current arrangements with the hospice.
- Short-term inpatient care
- Arranged through another hospital or nursing home
- Type of inpatient care
- Both general inpatient care and respite care
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Brought in through an outside supplier
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.
Equipment and supplies tied to the terminal illness and the plan of care, such as a hospital bed, oxygen, wound supplies, or a wheelchair.
Medicare lets hospices provide these services through arrangements with other organizations. Either way, the hospice stays responsible for the covered care in the patient’s plan of care.

Understanding Hospice Care in Colorado Springs
Hospice care is a specialized service available throughout the Colorado Springs area. Many people think hospice is only for the very last days of life, but it is meant for much more than that. It is designed to offer support for months, helping patients live as fully as possible. The goal is to provide comfort, dignity, and peace. In El Paso County, you will find several options for hospice, but the quality can vary. That is why checking ratings is so helpful. You want a team that is not just nearby, but also responsive when you have an urgent need in the middle of the night. Good hospice care includes nurses, social workers, and chaplains who work together as a unit. They bring equipment and medicine directly to your home. It makes a world of difference to have experts on your side during such a sensitive and demanding time.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have the right to interview any hospice provider before you sign any paperwork. Here are a few questions to get you started. First, ask how quickly they can get a nurse to your home if an emergency happens at night or on the weekend. You need to know that someone is always available. Second, ask how they handle pain and symptom control. You want a team that is proactive, not just reactive. Third, ask how they involve the family in the care plan. It is your journey too, and you should feel like a partner in the process. Lastly, ask about their experience with your loved one’s specific condition. Some providers are better equipped for certain illnesses than others. Do not be afraid to ask these questions. A good provider will be happy to answer them and put your mind at ease.
