Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t hasten the death process.

We provide an extra level of care, and we do assessments every week to see if there are any changes in health.

Before entering hospice, patients may be lucky to get a full assessment every 8-10 weeks with their primary care physicians. Our patients get a full assessment each week to observe any changes in their condition.

At Comfort & Peace Hospice,

• We do not ignore symptoms
• We treat infections
• We want your loved one to live in comfort, peace, and dignity with their family while natural causes take place.

Your loved one is never “stuck on hospice.”

If your loved one’s health improves and no longer meets the criteria for hospice care, your loved one will be discharged from hospice.  While we believe in hospice care, we are also happy when a patient no longer qualifies for hospice. We celebrate this beautiful reality! If a patient is no longer in need of hospice care, we feel great knowing that our team’s supervision, care, and support played an instrumental role in your loved one getting better. Your loved one will be discharged from hospice if the goal changes from comfort care to aggressive and curative treatment of the terminal disease. We will support whatever decision you make.

Medicare and Medi-Cal and most private insurance plans cover 100% of hospice services.

There are no deductibles and no copays. We accept Medicare, Medi-Cal, and most private health insurance as payment in full; you will never see a bill from Comfort & Peace Hospice. We will be more than happy to look up your coverage.
