Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what OSF HOSPICE - URBANA 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.

Understanding Hospice Care in CHAMPAIGN
Hospice is about more than just medical care. It is about the whole person. In Champaign, you have access to teams that include nurses, aides, and social workers. They come to you. Whether you are at home or in a facility, they make sure you have what you need. Most people think hospice is only for the very last days. But that is a mistake. The best care happens when you start early. You get more time to build a bond with the hospice team. They help manage symptoms so you can focus on making memories. It is about living well until the very end. The thing is, many families wait too long to call. Do not be afraid to reach out early. It changes everything.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a provider is a deeply personal choice. Start by asking how quickly they can respond to an emergency. You need to know that help is just a phone call away, day or night. Ask how they handle pain and other symptoms. You want a team that is proactive, not just reactive. Another good question is how they support the family. Do they offer grief counseling? Do they have volunteers who can sit with your loved one? You should also ask about their experience with your specific diagnosis. Some teams have more expertise in certain areas than others. Trust your gut. If a team feels cold or rushed, keep looking. You deserve a partner who listens to you.
