Levels Of Hospice Care

It's likely that many of us will eventually need to arrange for hospice care for ourselves or a loved one.

It's essential that we are aware of the Four Levels of Hospice Care. When exploring hospice facilities, make sure these levels – also called stages – are addressed at the facilities you review.

  • Hospice Care at Home

  • Continuous Hospice Care

  • Inpatient Hospice Care

  • Respite Care

Once a patient starts getting hospice care, his or her Medicare hospice benefit should cover everything related to a terminal illness.
