- Type of inpatient care
- Both general inpatient care and respite care

- 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.

It matters that you can reach someone at night or on the weekend. Ask these three questions to get clear answers:

Make sure you feel comfortable with their answers. It is okay to talk to more than one provider. You want a team that listens well. They should clearly explain their role in your family's daily life. Take your time to decide what works best for your specific needs.
