Ask whether the agency is Medicare-certified for the services ordered, how soon it can start after discharge, how often the nurse and therapists will visit, and who answers the phone after hours; the hospital or physician's order sets what Medicare covers.

Can home health and hospice serve Memphis assisted living residents?

Yes. Tennessee lets ACLF residents receive part-time nursing, therapy and hospice from licensed outside providers, and Medicare services there must come from a Medicare-certified provider (0720-26-.07).

A hospice patient can remain in an ACLF if the treating physician certifies the care can be provided there, with the hospice and the ACLF jointly responsible for the plan of care.
