Does my parent have to move to receive hospice?
No. Our hospice waiver covers all six residents, so hospice care can happen here.

Hospice without another move
Loving Hands holds a hospice waiver for all six residents. When it's time for hospice, your parent can stay in the home they know, with the people they know.

How it works
Hospice care, in a home that already knows them
In California, a residential care home needs a hospice waiver from the state before a resident can receive hospice care there. Our waiver covers all six residents.
Hospice care itself is provided by a licensed hospice agency, which visits the home. Between visits, our staff provide the daily care: comfort, personal care, meals, company, and someone awake on site through the night.
Families stay close
You're part of it, start to finish
Families are partners here, not visitors. We keep you informed as things change, and we work alongside the hospice team so you know who is doing what.
Our license also covers residents who can no longer walk on their own and one bedridden resident, so care can continue here as needs grow.
