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

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing a hospice provider is a big decision for your family. It is helpful to ask clear questions before you start. Here are some things to ask any hospice team:
- How quickly can a nurse get to my home if there is a crisis?
- How does your team help manage pain and other difficult symptoms?
- What support do you offer to family members after a loss?
- Can you explain how you will coordinate with my current doctor?
Take your time to talk with the staff. Notice if they listen well to your concerns. A good hospice team will be patient and clear with their answers. They should explain things in a way that is easy to understand. Do not feel rushed to make a choice. You want a team that feels like the right fit for your loved one. Trust your instincts when you talk with them.
