Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what TRADITIONS HEALTH 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
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.
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.

Quality Note
What Is Hospice Care Like in LISLE?
Hospice care in Lisle focuses on comfort for people with a terminal illness. The goal is to manage pain and symptoms rather than to cure a disease. A team of nurses and doctors visits the patient where they live. This might be at home or in a care facility. They provide medical equipment and medicine to keep the patient at ease. The staff also provides emotional support for the family. In this area, agencies like Traditions Health provide these services to residents of DuPage County. They have a large team of nurses and doctors ready to respond to your needs. This care happens wherever the patient calls home. You do not have to go to a hospital to receive this help. It is designed to be as simple as possible for you and your family.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a hospice agency is a big decision. You should feel comfortable with the team you choose. Start by asking how many nurses they have available for after-hours calls. You need to know who will answer if you have a crisis at midnight. Ask about their plan for pain management and how they track symptoms. It is also good to ask how they support family members who are grieving. Ask them how often a nurse will visit the patient in their home. Does the team include a social worker? A chaplain? These people provide extra help. Finally, ask for examples of how they work with your current doctors. A good team talks to your primary doctor to keep everyone on the same page. Do not be afraid to ask for clarity on any of these points.
