Hospice Care

Hospice is a special program dedicated to the needs of the terminally ill with a palliative approach towards care. Our facility provides in-house hospice care as well as opportunities to contract with outside hospice agencies if needed. Our hospice staff is trained in providing quality of life with a focus on the comfort of each individual.

Our services may include:

• Treating the physical needs of the resident including pain and symptom management
• Providing for the resident’s spiritual and emotional needs with the help of social workers, counselors, members of the clergy, and volunteers.
• Providing coordination of facility services through the utilization of an interdisciplinary approach involving the resident, family members, attending physicians, nurses, home health aides and facility personnel.
• Bereavement Counseling is available for families
• Development of a transition plan completed prior to discharge.
• Collaboration with home health and durable medical equipment agencies to ensure a smooth transition for patients who can return home on a lower level of care.

Medicare and Medi-Cal eligible residents may receive services from a licensed Hospice Agency for Respite; Routine and Inpatient services. Please speak with our Director of Nursing or our Social Service Designee for additional information.
