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.
