Inpatient Hospice Facility

Hospice Family Care's Inpatient Hospice Facility offers symptom management, respite care and short-term stays in a serene setting on the campus of Redstone Village in south Huntsville.

With a staff to patient ratio of 1:4 and daily physician visits for our general inpatient hospice population, we ensure that symptoms are closely monitored and well managed. Other benefits of our Inpatient Facility include:

Many insurance plans cover general inpatient hospice care for people whose symptoms cannot be managed at home or any other setting. Examples of uncontrolled symptoms include: pain, retractable nausea and vomiting, bleeding, respiratory secretions, severe respiratory distress, uncontrolled seizures, agitation or restlessness.  Once the patient is comfortable and their symptoms are under control, they would return home under the care of our in-home hospice nurses.
