What is Hospice Care?
The goal of hospice care is to improve quality of life for patients and caregivers dealing with an advanced, terminal illness. Hospice reduces stress, offers sophisticated symptom relief, cares for patient comfort, and provides psychosocial support. It typically begins after a terminal diagnosis of six months or less. Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal, and most private insurers.

Hospice Is Not a Place
Most people wish to pass away in their own home, but only about one in four are able to with standard care alone. Hospice brings everything the patient needs to them. It is specialized care delivered wherever the patient resides.
Reducing trips to the hospital and ER is vital. Crowded hospitals increase disease exposure and create unnecessary stress. Our goal is to keep patients where they are most comfortable, in the best mental and physical state possible.
