#1. Routine Home Care
This is how we provide hospice care most often: in patients’ homes, long-term care facilities and nursing homes
#2. Continuous Care
When medically necessary, acute symptom management is provided at home or in another facility by hospice staff in shifts of up to 24 hours/day so the patient can avoid hospitalization.
#3. Inpatient Care
If a patient’s needs cannot be managed at home, local contracted nursing home facilities provide hospice care around the clock until the patient can return home.
#4. Respite Care
Limited to up to five consecutive days, respite care provides a brief “respite” for the patient’s primary caregiver by admitting the home care patient to an institutional setting without meeting the “inpatient” pain and symptom management criteria.

In order to start the hospice services, our hospice agency typically receives a "referral". This initiates the referral process. In the referral process, we assist the patient and their family in going over their hospice insurance coverage.
After our hospice representative updates the patient and their family of their insurance coverage, the representative will coordinate a visit to the patient within 48 hours.
During the visit, our representative will go over information which includes the explanation of benefits (EOB) and the assessment and evaluation of the eligibility of the patient.
If the patient is deemed eligible to receive hospice services, the hospice team with the patient and family will collaborate to create the appropriate care plan for the patient.
Hospice accepts Medicare, MediCal, and other private insurances. Call us today if you may have different coverage and would like to see if you qualify for our services.
