Most hospice care is provided in the patient's home, but some hospice providers operate dedicated inpatient facilities. These facilities are designed specifically for hospice care and provide 24/7 medical supervision and support.

Inpatient hospice facilities provide 24/7 medical supervision, immediate access to medications and treatments, specialized equipment, and a team of healthcare professionals available around the clock. They offer a home-like environment while providing the medical support needed for complex symptom management.
