Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what ANGELS CARE 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
Choosing a hospice provider is a big decision for any family. You should feel comfortable asking questions to find the best fit. Here are a few things to consider asking during your first meeting:
- How quickly can a nurse arrive if there is an emergency at night or on weekends?
- What specific training does your staff have to help with pain and symptom control?
- How do you support family members who are grieving or feeling overwhelmed?
- Can you explain how your team will work with our current family doctor?
Take your time with these conversations. It is important that you feel heard and respected. A good provider will be happy to answer every question you have. They should be clear about what services they offer and how they will support your family. Trust your instincts when meeting with a potential care team.
