Health Care & Caregiving Resources
that is available by telephone 24/7, Hospice can be your safety net rather than calling the paramedics and being transferred to the Emergency Department. You get to decide if Hospice is the right choice for you. Your physician can recommend Hospice or curative care but it is your right to elect Hospice and to choose which Hospice you want to receive care from. Hospice is not just for the patient. We care for the family as well. Hospice focuses on comfort, dignity and emotional support for the patient, their family and support system. Hospice does not mean giving up hope. Hospice provides an opportunity for patients and their families to have a quality of life that is family-centered and takes place in an atmosphere of compassion, dignity and hope. You get to make the decisions about the type of care and treatment you receive. Patients on Hospice care have the choice to be resuscitated or not. We discuss with each patient their goals regarding artificial nutrition/hydration and antibiotics. Hospice is not just for the last few days of life. Hospice is specialized health care to meet the needs of patients with life limiting illnesses. Care focuses on living your life fully with the support of the Hospice Team..

Hospice Care….Did You Know?
Hospice isn’t just a place. Hospice is a type of care that is provided in the comfort of your home or any setting in which you live, including a nursing home, assisted living facilities or residential care facility. Hospice is not just for Cancer Patients. Only about 45% of the patients we care for have cancer. Many of our patients have heart, kidney, liver, lung disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia and other life limiting illnesses Hospice is not for a set period of time. You can continue to receive Hospice care as long as you meet the necessary criteria. You can keep your primary physician. Hospice works closely with your physician to make sure you are comfortable and to meet your healthcare needs. When you are admitted to Hospice you do not give up your Social Security, Medicare Benefits, Medi Cal, Home or any other income or assets. Hospice is a Medicare/Medi Cal benefit that is paid for by Medicare and most private insurance companies. Your income or assets do not determine eligibility for Hospice care. Hospice can help keep you out of the hospital. With the care and support of the Hospice team and a nurse
