Both services take place in our comfortable inpatient facility, but they serve different purposes. Short-term inpatient care often occurs when a hospice patient’s needs require a higher level of care than what can be provided at home. Respite care, on the other hand, is specifically designed to provide temporary relief for caregivers when the patient’s condition is stable but the caregiver needs rest.
