Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what HARMONY 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
- Respite care (up to five days at a time, to give family caregivers a break)
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Supplied directly by this hospice
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.

Quality Performance
What Is Hospice Care Like in LAS VEGAS?
Hospice care in Nevada focuses on comfort rather than a cure. It brings medical support directly to where you live. Teams work to manage pain and provide emotional support for the whole family. Harmony Hospice has a team of 23 employees. This group includes 7 registered nurses and 1 physician. They also have 33 volunteers who help with daily tasks and companionship.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing the right team is a big step. You should feel comfortable with the people entering your home. Start by asking how quickly they can respond when an emergency happens at night. Ask how many nurses they have available for after-hours calls. You should also ask about their volunteer program. Do they have people who can sit with a patient or help with chores? Another good question is how they handle pain management and medicine delivery. It helps to know if they provide all equipment needed at home. Finally, ask how they keep family members informed about changes in health. Clear communication is the key to peace of mind.
