### Routine Home Care

Routine home care is the most widely utilized level of hospice care. It is provided wherever the individual considers home, including a private residence, assisted living facility, or nursing facility.

### General Inpatient Care

General Inpatient Care (GIP) is hospice care for short-term symptom management that cannot be controlled in a home-like setting and must be provided at an area hospital. The hospice clinical team members will make daily visits and communicate orders of care directly to the hospital staff.

### Continuous Home Care

Continuous home care is hospice care provided short-term to manage pain and symptoms in a home setting for up to 24 hours a day for patients who do not wish to return to the hospital but require full-time symptom management.

Continuous Home Care is provided in the patient's home by the hospice clinical team only until symptoms are under control; then, the patient is transitioned back to Routine Home Care. 

Continuous Home Care symptom examples include:

- Unrelieved pain
- Severe nausea and vomiting
- Severe shortness of breath
- Severe anxiety or panic attacks

### Respite Care

Respite Care is hospice care available to provide temporary relief to the patient’s primary caregiver for a maximum of five consecutive days in a Medicare-certified facility; this can help prevent caregiver fatigue in some instances.
