As Orange County’s county seat and one of its largest cities, Santa Ana is home to families of many backgrounds, and many of them care for parents and grandparents at home. Maxcare Hospice brings compassionate, comfort-focused hospice care to Santa Ana from our office in nearby Westminster.
What Hospice Means for Your Family
Hospice is specialized care for someone with a serious illness when the focus moves from curing the disease to living as comfortably as possible. The hospice team treats pain and other symptoms, supports caregivers, and helps the family prepare for what is ahead. Hospice does not mean giving up hope, and patients may leave hospice to pursue curative treatment if they choose.
How Hospice Is Paid For
For most patients, hospice is paid for by the Medicare Hospice Benefit under Medicare Part A. It covers care related to the terminal illness, including nursing visits, medications, and medical equipment related to that illness, usually at little or no cost to the family. Medi-Cal and many private plans also cover hospice. A patient generally qualifies when a doctor certifies a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course, and patients can keep their own physician.

We provide hospice wherever the patient calls home: single-family homes and apartments, assisted living communities, board-and-care homes, and skilled nursing facilities across Santa Ana.
Our Hospice Team in Santa Ana
Every patient receives care from an interdisciplinary team that works with the patient’s own doctor and our hospice medical director:
- Registered nurses who manage pain and symptoms and keep the family informed.
- Hospice aides who help with bathing, grooming, and personal care.
- Medical social workers who help with planning, resources, and the emotional weight of a serious illness.
- Chaplains who offer spiritual support in keeping with each family’s beliefs.
- Trained volunteers who provide companionship and respite for caregivers.
- Bereavement support for family members after a loved one’s death.
