Medicare may cover respite care for up to five days to give caregivers a temporary rest when a patient is receiving hospice care.
Medicare does not pay for long-term custodial care or non-medical home care services that caregivers often provide.
Caregivers can utilize Medicare-covered home health services, such as skilled nursing or physical therapy, to support patient recovery at home.
