Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what COMPASSUS GREEN BAY 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 Green Bay
Hospice is not a place, but a type of care. It is a service that comes to you. In Green Bay, hospice teams work to keep patients comfortable at home or in a nursing facility. The main goal is to treat the whole person, not just the disease. That means addressing physical pain, but also emotional and spiritual needs. Most people wait too long to start these services. The truth is that hospice can provide support for six months or more if a doctor agrees. It is not about giving up hope. It is about shifting the focus to comfort and peace of mind. Many families find that bringing in extra help early on makes the whole process much easier to manage. You get a team of nurses, aides, and social workers. They all work together to take the stress off your shoulders.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have the right to pick the hospice provider that feels right for you. Start by asking how quickly they can get a nurse to your home if a crisis happens at night. It is a big deal to know you are not alone when things get tough. Ask how they coordinate with your current doctors to keep everyone on the same page. You should also ask about their volunteer program. Volunteers can offer a break for family caregivers who need a few hours to run errands. Finally, ask what makes their team different from others in the area. Listen for a clear answer about how they support the family as a whole. You need to feel comfortable with the people who will be entering your home. Trust your gut during these first meetings. If a provider cannot answer these simple questions, keep looking.
