What do Inpatient Hospices do?
Inpatient hospices provide short-term, 24/7 medical care in a specialized facility to stabilize a patient’s pain and symptoms that cannot be managed at home.
The goal is to help patients manage symptoms aggressively and return home to routine care, or to provide a peaceful environment for comfort and care if returning home isn’t possible.
Comprehensive care encompasses medical, emotional, social, and spiritual support for both the patient and their family.
Intensive Symptom Management: They provide immediate, around-the-clock care to control difficult symptoms, such as pain, nausea, or shortness of breath, that are unresponsive to home care.
Short-Term Stabilization: The primary goal of inpatient care is often temporary—to stabilize the patient so they can transition back home.
Specialized Facility Care: Patients receive care in a dedicated hospice unit, hospital, or free-standing hospice center that provides a focused, comfortable environment.
Comprehensive Support Team: A team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and other professionals provides tailored care plans to meet the patient’s and their family’s individual needs.
Family Support: Inpatient hospices offer practical, emotional, and bereavement support for the entire family, not just the patient.
When It’s Used
Respite Care: To give family caregivers a short break to rest and prevent exhaustion, knowing their loved one is receiving continuous, expert care.
Uncontrolled Symptoms: When a patient’s symptoms become too complex to manage at home, they require more specialized and immediate medical attention.
