Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what DIVINITY HEALTHCARE 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 Fort Worth
Hospice is not a place you go to give up. It is a specialized service that comes to where you live. In Texas, we see many families use these services to manage pain and improve the final months or weeks of life. The team usually includes a nurse, a social worker, and a hospice aide. They work together to address physical symptoms like pain or trouble breathing. But they also help with the emotional toll that hits everyone involved. You do not need to be in a hospital to receive this help. Most people prefer to stay in their own bedrooms surrounded by family photos and familiar things. That is the beauty of home hospice. It turns the home into a place of peace. If your loved one needs more support than home care allows, some providers also work with local inpatient units. You have options here in Fort Worth.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a provider can feel overwhelming. Start by asking these simple questions to get a better feel for their team. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens in the middle of the night. You need a fast response. Second, ask about their staff turnover. Do they have a stable team that has worked together for a long time? A happy team usually means better care for your family. Third, ask how they help with spiritual or emotional needs. Do they have chaplains or volunteers who can sit with your loved one? Finally, ask for a clear list of what is covered by Medicare and what might be an extra cost. You deserve to know the details upfront. Don't be afraid to ask for a meeting with their staff before you sign any papers. It helps to meet the people who will be in your house.
