What Is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is a specialized approach to supporting individuals with life-limiting illnesses. Rather than focusing on curing the disease, hospice care prioritizes the quality of life by managing symptoms, reducing pain, and providing emotional and spiritual support. It is designed to honor the person as a whole, offering care that respects dignity and comfort. Services are provided wherever the patient calls home, whether that’s a private residence, an assisted living facility, or a care center. The goal is to bring peace, comfort, and connection to patients and their families during life’s final journey.
Who Pays for Hospice Care?
Hospice care is typically covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal/Medicaid, and most private insurance plans, minimizing the financial burden on families. Patients who qualify retain full coverage for hospice-related services, including medications, equipment, and clinical visits tied to their terminal diagnosis. In addition, Medicare and Medi-Cal/Medicaid continue to cover other medical needs that are unrelated to the hospice condition. This means individuals and families can access high-quality, compassionate end-of-life care without worrying about overwhelming expenses.
