LEVELS OF HOSPICE CARE
This is the most common level of hospice care. Care is provided in patient's home, long term care facilities, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and residential care facilities.
Care is provided 24 hours a day during periods of crisis in which a patient requires continuous nursing care for
management of acute medical symptoms.
Care for pain control and symptom
management that are short-term in nature. Special arrangements are made with hospitals, hospice units or long-term care facilities where patients may receive necessary and appropriate care.
Limited to five consecutive days, respite care provides a brief break to the patient's primary caregiver by admitting the patient to a hospital, hospice unit, or long term care facility.
