What Hospice Means for Your Family
Hospice is comfort-focused care for people with a serious illness when the goal shifts from cure to quality of life. Our nurses manage pain and symptoms, our aides help with personal care, and we teach family caregivers what to expect. Patients can stop hospice at any time.
Hospitals and Care Settings in Irvine
Irvine patients often come home from Hoag Hospital Irvine or Kaiser Permanente Irvine Medical Center, and many also see specialists at UCI Health. We coordinate with discharge planners and with your loved one’s physician. We care for patients wherever they live: private homes, apartments, assisted living, board-and-care homes and skilled nursing facilities.
Paying for Hospice
For most patients, hospice is covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit under Medicare Part A. A patient generally qualifies when a doctor certifies a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness follows its usual course.
A Vietnamese-Speaking Care Team
Irvine has a large and growing Asian American population, including many Vietnamese American families. Our nurses (RN/LVN), aides (CHHA), administrator and liaison speak Vietnamese, so elders and relatives can ask questions and make decisions in the language they’re most comfortable with.
Starting Care in Irvine
Families, physicians, hospitals and facilities can refer by calling (714) 844-7777. We’ll review eligibility and answer your questions.

Can you help when a loved one is leaving Hoag Hospital Irvine or Kaiser Permanente Irvine?

Can our family call hospice ourselves, or does the doctor have to call first?
You can call us yourself; we check eligibility and work with your doctor. You don’t have to wait for a doctor or hospital to bring up hospice.

Does Medicare cover hospice at home in Irvine?
Yes, for patients who qualify. The Medicare Hospice Benefit (Part A) covers hospice care related to the terminal illness wherever the patient lives in Irvine, including nurse and aide visits, medications for pain and symptoms, and medical equipment. Families usually pay little or nothing; there can be a small copay for some medications and for respite care. Call (714) 844-7777 and we’ll check your loved one’s coverage.
