Offer of care until death
Inpatient hospice
Inpatient hospices specialize in the care of people who have serious, incurable illnesses and are in the last phase of their lives. An inpatient hospice is an option if you are in a particularly challenging and difficult nursing, psychosocial or medical situation and have high care needs that cannot be met at home. Nursing and psychosocial care are the main focus in an inpatient hospice. Admission to an inpatient hospice can take place if care at home or in a care facility is not possible and care in a hospital, for example on a palliative care ward, is not necessary. A hospice offers care and support until death. Inpatient hospices are designed to be homely: For example, they have a kitchen, overnight accommodation for relatives or confidants and therapy rooms.
Costs: the cost contributions for inpatient hospices vary depending on the provider and federal state. In some federal states, the costs are based on the regulations for accommodation in a retirement and nursing home: this would then be up to 80 percent of the income without special payments and 80 percent of the care allowance. You are left with at least ten percent of care allowance level 3.
