General Inpatient Care
When symptoms can’t be managed at home, short-term inpatient care provides round-the-clock clinical attention until comfort returns.
General Inpatient Care In a contracted facility, our team delivers intensive symptom management around the clock, with the goal of returning the patient home.
It’s a Medicare level of hospice care we arrange seamlessly when the situation calls for it.
What this includes
- Round-the-clock symptom management
- For complex or acute needs
- Goal of returning home
- Seamless transitions
- A Medicare-covered level of care
