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

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.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have the right to choose the best care for your family. Start by asking how quickly they can respond to an emergency call at night. You need to know that someone is always available. Ask them about their specific experience with your loved one's illness. Do they have special training for that condition? It is also smart to ask about their staff turnover. A stable team is better for building trust. Finally, ask how they involve the family in the care plan. You should feel like a partner in the decision-making process. The right provider will welcome these questions with open arms. If they seem rushed or annoyed, look elsewhere. You need a partner who is patient and kind. Take your time to find the right fit for your situation.
