Hospice Services
Because you deserve the best of hospice care
Levels of Hospice Care
Medicare reimburses 4 levels of hospice care. The appropriate level of care will be determined by your nurse case manager in collaboration with the hospice Medical Director and your attending physician.
Routine Hospice Care
The client receives hospice care at their place of residence (i.e: private residence, assisted living facility, or nursing facility). This is the most common level of hospice care.
Respite Care
Respite care allows the client to be admitted to a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility for up to 5 days, depending on insurance benefits. This allows caregivers to get some much-needed rest and time away from the demands of daily caregiving.
General Inpatient Care
For pain control and symptom management and allows hospice staff to provide clinical services to a degree that cannot typically be provided in the client’s home. The client is admitted to a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility where short-term intensive care is provided.
Continuous Care
Around-the-clock care in the client’s place of residence. This level of care is provided for brief periods of time when the client is experiencing a crisis. Hospice nurses and aides provide intensive care to manage the crisis situation.

Occupational Therapy
The importance of maintaining comfort and well-being in end-of-life care cannot be overstated. Patients with emotional, social, or physical problems may benefit from occupational therapy, which can help them overcome obstacles and adapt to and welcome changes in their lives.
Speech Therapy
Patients who can’t speak clearly with the hospice care team have a lower chance of receiving quality care. However, with the assistance of speech therapy, therapists can devise an alternate communication strategy that will allow the patient to communicate his wants and needs.
