When symptoms can no longer be safely managed at home, Richmed’s General Inpatient Care (GIP) provides intensive, short-term treatment in a medical facility. Our inpatient partners offer 24-hour monitoring, ensuring that each patient receives immediate intervention from skilled clinicians until stability is restored.
What’s Included
- Admission to a contracted hospital or inpatient hospice unit
- Ongoing medical supervision by hospice physicians and registered nurses
- IV therapy, complex wound management, and rapid pain/symptom control
- Supportive counseling for family members at the bedside
- Continuous updates and coordination with the patient’s primary hospice team
Benefits for Patients & Families
Inpatient care combines hospital-level treatment with hospice philosophy — ensuring comfort, dignity, and compassionate attention. Families gain reassurance that their loved one is safe, closely monitored, and never alone during the most challenging days.
When to Consider General Inpatient Care
When symptoms escalate beyond what can be managed in the home — such as severe pain, uncontrolled nausea, or sudden decline — GIP ensures immediate access to professional medical intervention.

Our Approach to Every Life We Touch
Every patient’s story is unique, and that’s why our care begins with listening. We take time to understand not just the diagnosis, but the person behind it — their values, their hopes, and the moments that matter most. Through collaboration between nurses, physicians, aides, social workers, and chaplains, we build a plan that honors each individual’s rhythm and routine. It’s not about adding days to life — it’s about adding life to every day.
