Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what ENNOBLE CARE 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
Finding the right care team takes a few good questions. You should feel empowered to ask these during your first meeting. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. Second, ask how they will help manage pain and other symptoms at home. You should also ask how they keep your family doctor in the loop about your care plan. Finally, ask what kind of support they offer to family members who are grieving. Do not be afraid to ask for clear answers. A good provider will be happy to explain their process to you. They want you to feel confident in your choice. Take your time to talk with them.
