Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what ALLSTAR 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
- Supplied directly by this hospice
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.

Quality Performance
What Is Hospice Care Like in Arlington?
Hospice care in Arlington centers on comfort and peace for the patient. A team of experts visits the home to manage pain and symptoms. This team includes eight registered nurses and one physician. They also have one volunteer available to help with social support. Staffing levels change based on the specific needs of each patient. The goal is to keep the patient in their own bed whenever possible. Arlington has several options for care, but this team offers a specific mix of medical staff.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel confident before you sign any paperwork. Start by asking how often a nurse will visit the home. You need to know if they provide care on weekends or holidays. Ask how they handle medical emergencies in the middle of the night. It is also good to ask about their experience with your specific diagnosis. You might want to know how the staff works with family caregivers. Ask them how they help manage pain or breathing issues at home. Do not be afraid to ask for clarity on their services. You are the advocate for your loved one. Getting clear answers helps you make a better decision for the days ahead. A good provider will welcome these questions and give you direct, honest replies.
