Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what BRIDGE 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
- Supplied directly by this hospice
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 Glen Allen
Living in Henrico County means you have access to several hospice options. But not all providers are the same. The main purpose of hospice is to focus on comfort rather than a cure. The thing is, many families wait too long to call for help. Hospice can offer support for six months or more if a doctor agrees it is time. It provides nurses, aides, and social workers who visit your home. They help with medicine and daily tasks. This support lightens the load for primary caregivers. You do not have to walk this path alone. Local teams know the community resources that can make your life easier right now.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a hospice team is a big decision. You should feel comfortable asking tough questions before you sign anything. Start by asking how quickly they can get a nurse to your home in an emergency. That is a vital detail for your safety. Ask how they handle pain management during the night or on weekends. You also need to know how their staff will communicate with your family doctor. Finally, ask what kind of support they offer for grieving family members after a loss. These questions help you see if a provider is a good fit for your specific needs. Trust your gut during these talks.
