Families in Anaheim live in every kind of home. Some parents are in the house they bought decades ago in West Anaheim. Some have moved in with a son or daughter in Anaheim Hills. Others live in an assisted living community or a nursing home near downtown. When hospice becomes the right choice, a common question is whether care can come to wherever “home” is right now. In most cases, it can.
Maxcare Hospice is a Vietnamese American family-owned hospice based in Westminster. We have been caring for Orange County families since 2011, and our team cares for families across Anaheim.

Hospice comes to the person
Medicare says you can usually get hospice care in your home or in another place where you live, such as an assisted living facility or a nursing home. That covers a lot of Anaheim households:
- A private home or apartment. Our nurses, aides, social workers and chaplains visit, and family members stay at the center of things.
- A multigenerational home. We teach whoever is helping, whether that’s a spouse, an adult child or a grandchild home from college.
- Assisted living or a board-and-care home. We work alongside the staff who already know your loved one.
- A skilled nursing facility. The facility provides daily care; we add the hospice team, comfort-focused medicines and support for the family.
If the hospice team decides a short inpatient stay is needed to get pain or other symptoms under control, the hospice makes those arrangements.
The room-and-board rule
One detail surprises families. Medicare’s hospice benefit doesn’t pay room and board. If your loved one lives in a nursing home or assisted living, the monthly rent or facility charge usually continues as before. Hospice covers the hospice care itself. Short inpatient or respite stays that the hospice team arranges are handled differently, and we’ll explain them if they come up. (medicare.gov)
Leaving an Anaheim hospital
Many Anaheim families first hear about hospice in a hospital room, at Kaiser Permanente’s Anaheim Medical Center, West Anaheim Medical Center or AHMC Anaheim Regional Medical Center. We mention these only as places families come home from. Maxcare isn’t affiliated with any of them. You can tell the case manager which hospice you’d like, and we’ll coordinate with the hospital team and your loved one’s doctor.
A team that speaks your family’s language
Many West Anaheim households are Vietnamese American, and our team includes nurses, aides and staff who speak Vietnamese. Parents can ask their own questions, and adult children don’t have to translate every hard conversation.

Moving between settings
Sometimes a person starts hospice at home and later moves to a family member’s house, a board-and-care home or a nursing facility, or the other way around. Hospice care moves with them. Tell us about any planned move, and we’ll coordinate with the new setting so there’s no gap in care or medicines.
