- 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.

About ENHABIT HOSPICE
Enhabit Hospice operates as a for-profit hospice provider. They have been Medicare certified since February 28, 2012.

Understanding Hospice Care in Fort Worth
Hospice care in Texas is designed to focus on the person, not just the disease. In Fort Worth, many providers work to keep patients comfortable at home. The main goal is to reduce pain and provide emotional support for the whole family. And here is the thing — hospice is not just for the final days. Many people wait too long to start services. You can actually start hospice care when a doctor says a patient has six months or less to live. This allows the team to build a real relationship with your loved one. They provide nurses, aides, and even volunteers to help with daily tasks. It is a team effort to ensure your loved one feels heard and respected. Some families worry that hospice means giving up. But it is really about choosing the best possible quality of life for the time that remains. It is a brave and loving choice.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a hospice team feels overwhelming, but you do not have to do it alone. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. You also need to know how they handle pain medication after hours. If your loved one is in pain at 2:00 AM, you want a quick answer. Ask them how they support the family's emotional needs, too. Do they offer grief counseling? And what about volunteers who can sit with your loved one while you run errands? These small things add up to a lot of peace of mind. Ask them how they coordinate with your primary doctor. You want to be sure everyone is on the same page. Write your questions down before you call or visit. It helps keep things clear when you are feeling tired or stressed. Most importantly, trust your gut feeling after you talk to them.
