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

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have choices when selecting care. Ask these questions to find the right fit. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. Second, ask how the team will talk to your regular doctor about the plan. Third, ask what specific support they offer to family members who are grieving. Finally, ask how they handle changes in pain or symptoms on the weekend. You need clear answers before you sign any forms. Write down their responses. Compare these answers against your own needs. Take your time with this. Do not feel rushed by the process. It is your right to be sure.
