Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what AMEDISYS HOSPICE CARE 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.

It is about making the most of the time you have left together. Care often happens where the patient lives. This could be a private home or a local care facility.

They offer emotional support and grief counseling for those left behind. You do not have to walk this path alone. Local providers are here to offer guidance and peace of mind during your journey.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing the right hospice team is an important step for your family. You should feel comfortable asking questions before you sign up. Here are some key questions to consider during your search:
- How quickly can your team respond if we have a late-night emergency?
- What specific services do you offer to support family caregivers at home?
- How do you handle pain management and symptom control for your patients?
- Can you explain how your team coordinates care with our primary doctor?
- What kind of support do you provide for our family after a loss?
Asking these questions helps you understand the level of care provided. It ensures that the team matches your family's values and needs. Take your time to get the answers you need to feel secure in your decision.
