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
Picking the right partner is a big step. You want to feel confident in the team you choose. Here are a few simple questions to ask during your first meeting. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. Second, ask how they handle pain management and if they have a specific process for it. Third, ask how they support family members with grief and emotional needs. It is also good to ask about their experience with your loved one's specific diagnosis. Pay attention to how they answer you. Do they listen carefully? Are they patient? You deserve clear answers that make sense. Trust your gut feeling when you talk to them. A good provider will never rush your questions or make you feel like a burden.
