- 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.

Understanding Hospice Care in Nashville
Hospice care in Nashville focuses on comfort rather than a cure. The team works to manage pain and help the patient live with dignity. You might wonder how a team works together to provide this support. At ENHABIT HOSPICE, the staff includes 4 registered nurses who visit patients to check on their health. The thing is, hospice is not just about the medical staff. It is about the whole family experience. A good team will talk to you about what to expect during each stage of care.

Nashville has several options, but finding a team that fits your family values is the most important step.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have a right to ask questions before you choose a team. Start by asking how the nurses handle pain at night or on the weekend. This is a common concern for many families. You should also ask how often a nurse will visit your home to see the patient. Find out how the team helps family members cope with the stress of caregiving. Another good question involves how they handle medicine and medical supplies for the home. Ask if they provide a chaplain or social worker for emotional support. You need to feel comfortable with the people who will enter your home. Trust your gut feeling during the first meeting. If the answers seem clear and kind, that is a very good sign. Take notes so you can look back at the answers later on.
