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

Understanding Hospice Care in Holladay

Hospice is not just about the final days of life. It is about improving the quality of the time you have left together.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
It is normal to feel nervous when picking a provider for your loved one. You should feel empowered to ask tough questions before you sign anything. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an urgent problem happens. That is a big deal. You also want to know how they handle pain management and if they have a doctor available 24/7. Ask them what kind of support they offer to family caregivers who might be feeling tired or stressed. It is also wise to ask about their volunteer program and what role they play in care. Finally, ask them to explain their communication process. You need to know who to call and how they will keep you updated. A good provider will be happy to answer every single one of these questions.
