Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what TRADITIONS HEALTH 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 Augusta
Augusta has a variety of hospice choices for your family. The goal of all these agencies is the same. They want to provide comfort when a cure is no longer the main focus. Many families wait too long to start hospice. That is a mistake. The truth is that hospice can offer six months of care or even more. It is not just for the final days. It is for months of support. Your hospice team will include nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains. They all work together to help you manage the day-to-day challenges. You deserve to focus on being a family member rather than a caregiver. These services are covered by Medicare for those who qualify. The local hospice providers here in Georgia are committed to serving their neighbors with kindness and expert medical skill.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a provider can feel overwhelming. Start by asking clear, direct questions. Here are a few things to bring up during your first meeting. First, ask how quickly they can get a nurse to your home in an emergency. You need to know that help is available 24/7. Second, ask how they manage pain and other difficult symptoms. You want a team that responds fast. Third, ask how they support the family emotionally. Do they offer grief counseling after the loss? Finally, ask about their experience with your specific diagnosis. Some agencies have extra training for specific conditions. Be honest about what you are worried about. A good provider will listen closely to you. They will not rush you through these important questions. Take your time to find the right fit for your loved one.
Keep Their Stories Alive
Your loved one has a lifetime of stories that deserve to be remembered. We can help you capture those memories and preserve them for future generations to cherish.
