How Our Hospice Home Care Services Work

Step 1: Compassionate Intake & Assessment
After your referral, our intake nurse visits at home to assess needs, medical background, living environment, and personal goals. This begins a customized care plan for your hospice home care journey.

Step 2: Personalized Care Plan
We develop a care plan in collaboration with patients, families, and physicians. It outlines medical protocols, emotional support strategies, equipment needs, and caregiver roles.

Step 3: In-Home Care Delivery
Our team visits regularly—nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains—ensuring vital support and timely plan adjustments in your hospice home care services.

Step 4: Around-the-Clock Communication
Families receive 24/7 access to our clinical team. We respond swiftly to changes, minimizing crises at home.

Step 5: Ongoing Family Support
We offer caregiver education, help coordinate additional services, and provide grief support after your loved one passes—because care continues even when the patient’s journey ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have hospice home care?

Hospice home care means receiving specialized, compassionate end-of-life support delivered directly in your home. It includes expert symptom and pain management, nursing oversight, personal care assistance, emotional and spiritual support, caregiver training, bereavement services, and provision of medical equipment—all provided by a coordinated interdisciplinary team to ensure comfort, dignity, and peace for both patients and families.

What are the four levels of hospice care?

Hospice care is provided in four primary levels: Routine Home Care, Continuous Home Care, General Inpatient Care, and Respite Care. These levels span from regular in-home visits to intensive support during crises, temporary inpatient stays when symptoms are unmanageable, and short-term relief stays to support family caregivers.

What is routine home care in hospice?

Routine Home Care is the most common hospice level, where care is delivered through scheduled visits at home—or in assisted-living or skilled nursing settings. The hospice team provides symptom control, medication oversight, personal care, supplies, and 24-hour on-call support to manage comfort and peace at home.

How often will hospice visit my home?

Visit frequency varies based on individual needs; nurses often visit weekly or more frequently, while aides and social workers come as scheduled. The plan adjusts to ensure symptom needs and patient comfort are constantly supported.

How long do people typically stay on hospice home care?

Patients may remain on hospice home care as long as they meet eligibility criteria—typically with a prognosis of six months or less—but can continue longer if recertified. Durations range from a few days to many months, depending on how quickly health declines.

Does hospice charge for in-home care?

Hospice home care is typically fully covered by insurance under Medicare, Medi-Cal/Medicaid, and most private plans. Families receive support in navigating benefits, and required supplies and equipment come at no extra cost under applicable coverage.

Who pays for hospice home care services?

Hospice home care services are usually paid for through Medicare, Medi-Cal/Medicaid, and most private insurance. Providers help coordinate coverage and authorize services to reduce financial burden.
