Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what FHP HOME HEALTH - 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
- General inpatient care (for pain or symptoms that cannot be managed elsewhere)
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Both supplied directly and through outside suppliers
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.

patients in care on an average day
A rough measure of size. Smaller can mean more personal. Larger can mean more resources.
Medicare reports this hospice billed for routine home care only from January 2022 through December 2024. Hospices can also provide continuous home care, inpatient care, and respite care when symptoms are harder to manage. There can be good reasons for this. Ask the provider how they handle a crisis at home.

In Tamuning, your hospice team usually includes a nurse, a social worker, and an aide. They come to where you live to provide care. Sometimes they visit your home. Other times they might see you in a facility. The goal is to keep your loved one free from pain. They also provide emotional support for the whole family. That is a big deal when you are feeling overwhelmed. The team is available to answer questions and help with tough decisions. You are never alone in this process.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing the right team can feel like a heavy task. Start by asking clear questions to find a good fit. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. You want to know they are truly available. Second, ask how they handle pain management and if they have a doctor who specializes in this. This is the heart of hospice care. Third, ask how they support family members with grief and stress. Do they offer counseling or just basic check-ins? Finally, ask about their experience with your loved one’s specific health needs. You deserve a provider who listens to your concerns. Do not be afraid to ask for clarity. A good hospice team will be patient and take the time to answer every single one of your questions.
