Conveniently located just north and east of the intersection of Interstate 94 and Highway 26, the Rainbow Hospice Care Inpatient Center offers three
different levels of care:
1) General Inpatient (GIP) Care – is available to hospice patients needing more medical and nursing care for symptoms that
can’t be effectively managed at home or in a facility. Examples include uncontrolled pain; nausea and vomiting; severe shortness of breath; agitation; seizures; and other difficult to
control symptoms.
2) Respite Care – is available to hospice patients whose families need a break from the rigors of care giving at
home. Under these circumstances, patients are transferred to our inpatient center for up to five days at a time while their loved ones get much needed rest.
3) Routine or “Residential” Care – is available to hospice patients not in need of general inpatient or respite care but who
are choosing to live at the inpatient center until end-of-life.
Please note that a nursing assessment is required for all referrals to verify the most appropriate level of care.
While the cost of general inpatient and respite care is typically fully covered by Medicare, it is important to know that routine level of
care patients pay privately for room and board.
