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

patients in care on an average day
A rough measure of size. Smaller can mean more personal. Larger can mean more resources.
Medicare reports this hospice billed for routine home care only from January 2022 through December 2024. Hospices can also provide continuous home care, inpatient care, and respite care when symptoms are harder to manage. There can be good reasons for this. Ask the provider how they handle a crisis at home.

You need to know if someone is available for emergencies at 3 AM. Ask how often they visit the patient each week. It is also good to ask how they support the family members. Do they offer help with grief? How do they handle medications? You should also ask about their experience with your specific health needs. A good provider will answer these questions with patience. They should never rush you. You deserve clear, honest answers. Take your time to find the right fit for your family. Trust your gut feeling after you talk with them.
