Hospice Care

Comfort, dignity and support at the end of life

Hospice focuses on quality of life when a cure is no longer the goal. Our team cares for the patient and supports the entire family — wherever they call home.

Who it supports

  • Patients with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course
  • People with advanced cancer, heart failure, COPD, dementia, kidney or liver disease, ALS, stroke and more
  • Patients choosing comfort over curative treatment, or with frequent hospital visits
  • Families who need help, guidance and respite caring for a loved one

What's included

  • Pain and symptom management by registered nurses
  • Medications, medical equipment and supplies related to the hospice diagnosis
  • Home health aides for bathing and personal care
  • Social work, spiritual counseling and volunteer support
  • Individual and group grief counseling for families for up to 13 months after a loss
  • Medicare-certified hospice; serves Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare + Medi-Cal patients — call to check other insurance

How to make a referral

  1. 1

    Anyone can start the conversation — physician, hospital, facility or family. Call us or send an inquiry.

  2. 2

    We confirm eligibility with the physician and verify insurance benefits.

  3. 3

    A hospice nurse visits to admit the patient and build a care plan, often the same day.

A physician's certification is required for hospice admission. Our intake team coordinates this with the attending physician.
