Count on Hope for Hospice Services

If you or a loved one has a life-limiting illness, the Hope Hospice team can provide compassionate, holistic care in the comfort of home. To ensure your comfort and well-being, our skilled caregivers focus on the whole you, not just your illness, to help you live each day to the fullest.

Hospice services require formal doctor’s orders before care can begin. Hospice is a fully covered benefit under Medicare and most private insurance plans. However, there are certain eligibility requirements; in short, the patient’s doctor must feel that the underlying terminal illness gives the patient a remaining life expectance of six months or less.

The Hope Hospice Admissions Team is happy to speak with your family to explain the details. Give us a call at (925) 829-8770.

How to Start Hospice Service

The admissions process begins with a referral. The patient’s doctor can use our easy online physician’s referral form.

Alternatively, the patient, family, social worker, or other care provider can start the process by completing our online patient/family referral form. In this case, the Hope Hospice Admissions Team will follow up with the patient’s doctor to obtain the required formal orders.

Hope Keeps the Process Simple and Stress-Free

Once we’ve received a referral form, our Admissions Team will contact the patient or family member to gather information and set up an initial assessment. They also contact the patient’s physician, who will need to provide the patient’s:

  • Diagnosis
  • History and physical records
  • Physician order
