Macky & Pam Stansell House to Offer General Inpatient Care (GIP)

Ocean Pines, MD – June 6, 2023 – As the premier and local hospice residence located in Ocean Pines, MD, the Macky & Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice is now licensed to offer General Inpatient Care (GIP) to our community of Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties.

On top of providing hospice-eligible individuals with a specialized, comforting, and safe long-term residential plan, starting mid-June we will offer short-term acute care intervention for hospice patients who need intensive symptom management including but not limited to pain, anxiety, and shortness of breath. Along with that, we are now offering respite care, which provides caregivers with much needed breaks.

Our GIP facilities provide…

• 24-hour nursing services.
• A home-like atmosphere where patient areas provide comfort and privacy for patients and their families.
• Accommodations for family members to remain with the patient throughout the night.

With this licensure, Coastal Hospice now has two facilities able to provide GIP care and respite for the community, including Coastal Hospice at the Lake, located in a dedicated wing of the historic Deer’s Head Hospital in Salisbury, Maryland.

Direct Referrals to Coastal Hospice are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
