Hospice is comfort care without curative intent. It’s not uncommon to feel over-whelmed by a life-limiting illness. We focus on the symptoms and the person as a whole, providing comfort and assistance on one’s mental, physical, spiritual and social needs. Hospice is a special way of caring for people with a life-limiting illness.
Our services do not stop with the patient. Support and guidance is extended to the family, friends and loved ones while they navigate through what is often a challenging and emotional time. The hospice team will ensure that you and your family participate in the plan of care. We assist our clients and their loved ones find meaning in each day and allow you to live life on your terms.
Our mission is to provide optimal comfort and dignity to our patients through their end-of-life journeys .
We will achieve this by concentrating on patient and family centered goals with a focus not only on the medical needs but also by providing care for the mental and spiritual needs of our patients and families during their journey.”
Hospice services, medical equipment, supplies, and medications are benefits covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal, senior and regular HMOs, and private insurance plans.
Hospice will provide care in the comfort of your own home, whether it’s in a private residence, an assisted living facility or a skilled nursing facility.
Patients are eligible for hospice care when a physician makes a clinical de-termination that life expectancy is six months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course.
