Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what ENHABIT 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
- Respite care (up to five days at a time, to give family caregivers a break)
- 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.

Quality Performance
What Is Hospice Care Like in LANDER?
Hospice care in Lander focuses on keeping patients comfortable in their own homes. The team works to manage pain and other symptoms so the patient can spend time with family. You will find that hospice is not just for the final days. It is a service designed to improve quality of life for months if needed. The team here consists of four staff members. With two registered nurses on board, they have the clinical skills to handle medical needs at home. These professionals visit regularly to check on the patient and talk with family members. They also help coordinate equipment or medication that might be needed. This makes the day-to-day experience much smoother for everyone involved.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Ask these questions to find the right fit for your family. First, ask how often a nurse will visit the home. You need to know who to call if an emergency happens at night or on a weekend. Ask if the team has experience with the specific illness your loved one has. It is also good to ask how they support family members with grief and stress. Most providers offer social workers or chaplains to help with these emotional needs. Finally, ask how they handle changes in the patient's condition. You want a team that adjusts their care plan as needs change. Getting clear answers helps you feel more in control of the situation. Take your time to talk with the staff and see if they make you feel heard. You are the best judge of who will work well with your family members.
