- Arranged through another hospital or nursing home
- Type of inpatient care
- Respite care (up to five days at a time, to give family caregivers a break)
- Medical supplies and equipment

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 provider is a very personal choice. You should feel comfortable with the team you pick. Here are some questions to ask during your first meeting:
- How quickly can a nurse get to my home if there is an emergency?
- What kind of support do you offer for family members who are grieving?
- How do you help manage pain and other symptoms at home?
- Can you tell me how your team coordinates care with our regular doctor?
Asking these questions helps you understand the level of support you will get. Listen to your gut feeling when you talk to the staff. You need a team that listens to your concerns.
