Hospice is a specialized care for people who have a terminal illness. Instead of trying to cure the disease, hospice is foused on comfort care, emotional and spiritual support for patients and families.

Hospice care is 100% covered by Medicare Part A or Medi-Cal.

This includes services such as nursing, certified home health aide, medical social worker visits, and spiritual care. As well as medical supplies, medical equipment, and supplies related to the terminal illness.

California Mission Hospice also takes Cal-Optima insurance.

Patients should consider hospice when medical treatments can no longer cure their disease or when the burden of treating symptoms outweighs the benefits of treatment.
