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.

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 arrive if an emergency happens at night. You should also ask about the specific training of the staff members who will visit your home. Ask them how they handle pain management and if they have extra support for family members who are grieving. It is also good to ask how they keep the primary doctor informed about the care plan. You need to know if they provide services on weekends and holidays. Ask for a clear explanation of what supplies they cover. Make sure you understand the role of volunteers if you want that extra help. Write these questions down before you call so you do not forget anything important during the conversation.
