Hospice Information

Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid/Medi-Cal, and most private insurance companies. Since Statim Care Hospice, Inc. accepts Medicare and Medicaid, there are no out-of-pocket expenses for most patients or their loved ones.

Hospice care is for any person who has a terminal illness or when curative treatment is no longer effective or desired. While the majority of referrals are cancer-related, hospice is by no means exclusively for cancer patients.

Patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), end-stage kidney failure, liver or lung diseases, Parkinson’s Disease, dementia, and Alzheimer’s can greatly benefit from hospice care.

Hospice levels of care include:

• Routine Home Care
• Continuous Care
• Respite Care
• Inpatient Care

If a patient needs care beyond what can be safely provided at home, Statim Care Hospice, Inc. has special arrangements with skilled nursing facilities where patients may receive necessary inpatient care to manage the crisis until they can return home.

Statim Care Hospice, Inc. provides translators if required, free of charge to the patient, in order to assure accuracy and continuity of care. On-site initial evaluation is offered as part of our hospice program, at no cost to the patient or family.

Statim Care Hospice, Inc. does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, communicable disease, gender, or age in admission, treatment, or participation in its programs and services.
