Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what OAKLAND 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
- 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 West Bloomfield
Hospice care is not just for the final days or weeks of life. Many people wait too long to start these services. In Michigan, families often find that getting help early allows for better pain control and emotional support. The goal is to focus on living well, not just on the illness. You will find that hospice teams in Oakland County are used to working with local doctors and hospitals. They coordinate care so you do not have to handle the paperwork alone. What most people do not realize is that hospice is a benefit covered by Medicare. This means there is little to no cost for the family for covered services. And it is about more than just medicine. It is about having someone to talk to when things feel overwhelming. Having that extra layer of support makes a world of difference for everyone involved.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a hospice team is a serious task. You should feel comfortable asking tough questions before you sign any paperwork. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. You also want to know who will be on your specific care team. Ask about their experience with your loved one's specific health needs. Here are a few more things to consider:
- How do you handle pain management during the night or on weekends?
- What specific training do your volunteers and staff members have?
- Can you help us with grief support after our loved one passes?
- How often will a nurse visit our home to check on the patient?
The answers to these questions will tell you a lot about their culture. Do not feel rushed. You are the one in charge of this decision for your family.
