Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what HARRISON'S HOPE 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
- Supplied directly by this hospice
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
Choosing a hospice is a big decision for any family. You should feel comfortable asking direct questions. Start by asking how the team handles pain management after business hours. You need to know who answers the phone at night. Ask how often the nurse will visit the patient in their home. It is also wise to ask about their experience with specific health conditions. Do they have extra support for family members who are grieving? Ask them how they help families understand what to expect next. You should also ask if they have volunteers who can sit with patients. A good provider will answer these questions with patience. They should be clear and open with you. Take your time to find the right fit for your loved one.
