Description:
When hospice patients need care beyond what can be managed at home, VITAS inpatient hospice units allow us to offer an inpatient level of care in order to stabilize symptoms and return the patient to his or her home setting.
Patients may be admitted 24 hours a day from any setting—hospital, doctor’s office, home or nursing home. When caregivers need a break, our inpatient units offer up to five days of respite care to VITAS patients living at home.
