When symptoms require intensive management beyond what can be provided at home, or when family caregivers need temporary relief, Serene Hospice coordinates short-term inpatient care at a contracted skilled nursing facility.
Inpatient care is available in two forms: General Inpatient Care (GIP) for acute pain or symptom crises that require inpatient-level clinical management, and Respite Care which gives family caregivers a planned break of up to 5 consecutive days while the patient receives safe, professional care.
All services are provided at no cost under the Medicare and Medi-Cal hospice benefit. Serene Hospice never denies care based on ability to pay.
Intensive clinical management for acute symptoms that cannot be adequately controlled at home.
Up to 5 consecutive days of inpatient care to give family caregivers a planned, restorative break.
Our team coordinates all aspects of the inpatient stay and maintains the hospice care plan throughout.
When the acute need resolves, we coordinate a smooth return to home or community-based care.
Our team is here to answer your questions and help determine if hospice is right for your loved one.
