This is a facility that provides 24-hour palliative care, usually these units have limited number of beds and have specific criteria for admission.

A patient who has pain that is difficult to control at home, or a patient whose need respite, or a patient who has absolutely no support systems at home.

An In-patient unit is for patients who require short-term intensive medical care, pain and symptom control or terminal care. Patients are also admitted when the family needs a break. Many patients return to their homes once pain and other symptoms are under control.
