Inpatient Palliative Care

Comfort-Oriented Measures

We provide an expert level of pain and symptom management, and offer an extensive array of symptom management and comfort-oriented measures to patients admitted for medical and palliative care.

We attend to the quality of life interventions that people find important when they are very sick: we don’t wake people up, we turn the lights out at night, we let their families visit 24/7, in addition to offering rational, reasonable medical intervention.

Medicare Hospice Care Coverage Includes:
  • All patients are provided palliative care consultation, including expert-level counseling on disease trajectory, treatment options, goals of care, and advance directives;
  • We can accept people on ventilators, or CPAP/BiPAP;
  • Patients who come to Connecticut Hospice for Inpatient Palliative care are not required to have a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order;
  • Our unique 52-bed licensed palliative and hospice care hospital allows us to provide nuanced control of pain and quality of life rarely achieved in other health care settings;
  • Hospice enrollment is available to all eligible patients.
