Hospice care in a board and care home in Lomita

How hospice works in a care home in Lomita

• The home needs a hospice waiver from the California Department of Social Services to keep a resident who is on hospice. The public licensing file does not show which homes have one, so we confirm it by phone.
• Your hospice agency still provides the hospice care: nurse visits, medications and equipment related to the diagnosis, aides and chaplain. The home provides the room, meals, and daily care around the clock.
• The Medicare hospice benefit does not pay room and board. Families usually pay the home's monthly rate, typically $3,000 to $6,000 for board and care in LA County.
• Time matters. We can often confirm a hospice-approved bed within a day or two of your call.
