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
Selecting the right hospice provider is a big decision for your family. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can reach your home in an emergency. You should also ask how they handle pain management during the night or on weekends. It is useful to know how they support family caregivers with training or breaks. Ask them what their specific approach is to talking with patients about their goals. Do they focus on physical comfort or do they also offer counseling? You might ask how many patients each nurse sees to ensure they have enough time for you. Find out if they have volunteers who can sit with a patient for a few hours. These answers help you see if their values match what your family needs. Take your time to get the answers that matter to you.
