[quote=Anonymous]I am not aware of any long term hospices covered by Medicare. Capital Caring has an in patient hospice at Sibley Hospital. But it's short term only. It's used for respite (under two week stays so family members can get a break/make arrangements) or for those in severe pain/symptoms that cannot be managed at home (IV pain medications). It's very nice there. I believe Medicare will cover respite inpatient hospice (2 weeks) but you have to push for it (basically say he is not safe to come back home). Just could buy time. [/quote]
