Depending on the situation, a patient may pass through all four levels throughout their time in hospice or may remain in just one level until the end of their life.

Every hospice care service or facility certified by Medicare is required to provide all four of the following levels of hospice care:
 

• Level One – Routine Home Care: Routine home care is the first and most basic type of hospice care, and may also be referred to as routine nursing home care for patients living in a nursing home facility. This level of care includes:

• Medical care and services provided by physicians and nurses

• Social services

• Counseling (including spiritual, religious, and bereavement)

• Therapy services

• Home health care

• Medications, equipment, and supplies

• Diagnostic studies as needed for a terminal diagnosis

• Level Two – Continuous Home Care: For patients who require a nurse or home health aide accessible in their home environment, continuous home care provides a health professional anywhere from eight to twenty-four hours a day. Generally, continuous home care is intended to be a short-term solution, and its necessity is reevaluated every 24 hours.

• Level Three – General Inpatient Care: For some hospice patients, short-term symptoms may make it impossible to be comfortable at home. In these situations, they may temporarily be transferred to an inpatient facility to receive care. Inpatient care offers the benefit of around-the-clock access to nurses, which make help the patient feel more comfortable both medically and emotionally. General inpatient care may be provided at a free-standing hospice facility, a hospital’s inpatient hospice unit, or in a hospice unit in a nursing home.

• Level Four – Respite Care: For patients that do not qualify for inpatient or continuous care services, respite care can be a way to help their family receive a much-needed break from the pressures of caregiving. For up to five days, the patient can be admitted to an inpatient facility to allow the family to recuperate from stress or handle various personal circumstances.
