Welcome to Hospice of Southern California
Four Levels of Care
In hospice care, there are typically four levels of care provided to meet the varying needs of patients. These levels are designed to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of end-of-life care. The four levels of care in hospice are:
Routine Home Care
Routine Home Care is the most common level of Hospice Care. This service includes Nursing and Home Aide services, such as pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support and assistance with activities of daily living. Patients may receive Routine Home Care in their home or what "they call home", such as a long-term care or assisted living facility.
Respite Care
Hospice Respite Care is a short-term inpatient care service provided to the patient and their caregivers. It is designed to provide a break in caregiving for the patient's caregiver(s). This service helps to ensure that the patient is able to receive the highest quality of care, while also providing a much needed break for the caregiver.
Continuous Care
Hospice's Continuous Care service provides 24/7 nursing care to patients during a period of crisis. Our professional team of nurses and healthcare professionals are available to provide quality palliation and management of acute medical symptoms. With this service, you can be sure to receive the best possible care and comfort in your time of need.
General Inpatient Care
General Inpatient Care is a service offered by our Hospice for pain control and symptoms management that cannot be effectively provided in other settings. This care is usually of a short-term nature and can be provided in a hospital, hospice unit or long-term care facility. Our team of experienced professionals are here to provide you with the best care and support possible.
