Since 1979, Mercy Hospice has been providing compassionate care to terminally ill patients and their families.
Mercy Hospice is certified and licensed to provide both the Medicare and Medi-Cal Hospice Benefit. In addition, Mercy Hospice serves hospice patients with other types of private insurance. Individuals without any financial means to obtain care are also considered with services paid for with donations from Mercy Foundation.
When individuals and their families are faced with a diagnosis of terminal illness, Mercy Hospice provides for their physical, emotional and spiritual comfort and care needs in the supportive surroundings of the patient's place of residence. This includes their home, residential care facility or skilled nursing facility.
