How do I get hospice?

Just ask us for more information or an evaluation.

Patients have the right to choose hospice care. Obtaining a physician’s order is not necessary when inquiring about hospice care services; and either the patient or family may inquire.

Once you choose to start your hospice care with VNA Health, your admission can be completed within 24 hours. Then you and your family will receive the services of our VNA Health Hospice Care Team including home medical equipment, prescription medication, routine home care, respite care, and bereavement support.

Hospice care coverage is provided by Medicare nationwide, Medi-Cal in California, and by most private insurance providers. Medicare covers all services and supplies for the hospice patient related to the terminal illness.
