The four primary levels of care provided by hospice are routine home care, continuous care, general inpatient and respite care.

    • At the start of each period, the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor must recertify that the person is terminally ill (with a life expectancy of 6 months or less). This step is must for continued hospice care.
