In-Patient Hospice Services

Reasons a Patient May Need In-Patient Unit Care

A hospice inpatient unit is a medical facility where around-the-clock care is provided by hospice nurses, CNAs, social workers, and chaplains under the direction of the hospice medical director. The setting is more home-like than a hospital and shorter term than a nursing home. In our in-patient units, we provide acute care in a comfortable, calming setting similar to that you would receive at your home or a nursing home.

In many instances, hospice in-patient units are for those who need help managing acute, complex medical conditions that cannot easily be treated comfortably in their homes.

What are the different levels of care?

Hospice Home Care offers hospice care at home, along with general in-patient care and respite care. One of our team members can help you choose the appropriate level of care if you’re not sure which service will benefit your loved one and family the most.

General In-Patient Care (GIP)

Hospice Home Care offers hospice care at home, along with general in-patient care and respite care. One of our team members can help you choose the appropriate level of care if you’re not sure which service will benefit your loved one and family the most.

Respite Care

Respite care is a service that provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers. Caregiving can be highly demanding, as well as stressful and draining. It can also lead to burnout and potentially reduce the quality of care being given to the caregiver’s patient.

Respite care usually takes place in one of our in-patient care units, but can also take place in a facility. It lasts for five days to allow caregivers to recover from the demands of their responsibilities, and to resume them feeling refreshed and recuperated. You are welcome to visit your loved one during their stay, but we encourage you to allow us to provide care so that you may rest.

Our staff members will take over all your caregiving duties for the length of time you need in which to recover as a caregiver. We will assist your loved one with bathing, dressing, and eating, and we provide medication management services that help them adhere to their treatment plans. We will also engage your loved one in any special activities taking place in the in-patient unit during their stay (volunteer companionship, pet therapy, and music therapy).
