Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what AMEDISYS 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 Tulsa
Hospice care in Tulsa is designed to offer comfort when a cure is no longer the goal. It is not about giving up hope. Instead, it is about making sure your loved one stays comfortable. Hospice teams include nurses, doctors, and social workers. They visit you at home to help with daily needs and pain relief. They also offer emotional support to help your family cope with grief. You can choose where you receive this care. Most people choose to stay in their own homes in Tulsa. Some may choose a nursing facility if that is better for their needs. The goal is to focus on the patient's wishes and comfort. Local hospice providers like Amedisys are there to guide you through every step of this process.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
It is important to feel comfortable with the team you choose. Here are some questions to ask when you meet with a provider:
- How quickly can a nurse get to my home if we have an emergency?
- What specific services do you offer to support family caregivers?
- How do you handle pain and symptom management for your patients?
- What is your approach to honoring the personal wishes of the patient?
Take your time to talk with the staff. You should feel heard and respected during these talks. A good hospice team will be happy to answer all your questions. They should explain how they will work with your current doctors. Trust your instincts when you talk with them. You deserve a team that feels right for your family's unique situation.
