We’re excited to share our recent interview with Arizona Midday, where we discussed two critical but often misunderstood aspects of hospice: General Inpatient (GIP) and Respite Care. These specialized services ensure that patients and their families have access to expert symptom management, comfort, and compassionate support during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Tune in to learn how GIP provides intensive, round-the-clock care when symptoms can’t be managed at home, and how Respite Care offers families much-needed relief while their loved ones remain in a healing, home-like environment.

Thank you to Arizona Midday for helping us spread awareness of the full spectrum of hospice services available in our community!

If you have questions about hospice care or want to understand how GIP or Respite Care could help your loved one, reach out—we’re always here to support you.

Joshua Pleasant with Solace Hospice and Palliative Care explains the short term care options available.
