General Inpatient Care is short-term relief for in-home hospice caregivers. Medicare benefits pay for patient transport and up to five consecutive days of GIP at a Medicare-approved nursing facility or hospital. You can receive GIP more than once, but only on an occasional basis. GIP enables the caregiver to rest and recover from the demands of daily in-home care. It is also appropriate when a patient’s medical condition warrants a short-term inpatient stay for pain or other symptoms that cannot be managed at home.

We prioritize your comfort and dignity by offering personalized home hospice care designed to meet your unique needs. Our team of compassionate professionals provides support in the comfort of your own home, ensuring every patient receives attentive, respectful, and high-quality care.
Whether you need palliative support, symptom management, or emotional and spiritual guidance, we are here to walk alongside you and your loved ones, making each day as comfortable and meaningful as possible.
