Questions Families Ask Us

If you don't see your question here, call us and we will talk it through.

Does choosing hospice mean giving up?

No. Hospice shifts the focus to comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Many families tell us their loved one felt better once symptoms were properly managed and support was in place.

How much does hospice care cost?

For eligible patients the Medicare hospice benefit covers care related to the hospice diagnosis at no out-of-pocket cost, including visits, medications, equipment, and supplies. We also accept Medi-Cal and most major private insurance plans.

How quickly can care begin?

Often the same day you reach out. Our team handles the paperwork, coordinates with your physician, and can begin care at home once eligibility is confirmed.

Can we keep our own doctor?

Yes. Your physician can stay involved and work alongside our hospice medical director on the plan of care.

Where does care take place?

Wherever your loved one lives. Our teams visit private homes, assisted living communities, and board and care homes across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Kern counties.
