Brief Inpatient Support
While most hospice care is provided at home, there are times when symptoms become too complex to manage in a home setting. In these situations, our program offers short-term inpatient care to provide advanced, around-the-clock support in a hospital or hospice facility. This temporary level of care is designed to stabilize urgent symptoms while prioritizing your comfort, dignity, and peace of mind.
What this support includes:
24/7 medical supervision by a skilled hospice care team, including physicians and nurses trained in advanced symptom and pain management.
Immediate access to medications and interventions that help control severe pain, nausea, breathing difficulties, agitation, or other distressing symptoms.
Comfort-focused care environment where both physical needs and emotional well-being are supported with compassion and professionalism.
Family involvement and visitation, allowing loved ones to be close during this time, with support and guidance from the care team.
Coordination of care transition, ensuring a smooth return home or to another care setting once symptoms are under control and the patient is stable.
Medicare coverage for inpatient hospice care when medically necessary, so families can focus on care rather than costs.
