What Hospice Care Covers for Richmond Families

Under the Medicare Hospice Benefit, eligible patients receive a full range of comfort-focused services at no out-of-pocket cost. According to Medicare guidelines, hospice care is appropriate when a physician certifies that a patient has a serious illness with a prognosis of six months or less if the illness follows its expected course.

What is covered includes:

  • Skilled nursing visits on a scheduled basis, with 24/7 on-call nursing support by phone
  • Physician oversight from our Medical Director
  • Medications for symptom and comfort management related to the hospice diagnosis
  • Medical equipment and supplies delivered directly to your home (hospital beds, oxygen, wheelchairs, and more)
  • Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) support for personal care, bathing, and grooming
  • Medical social work services for care planning and family guidance
  • Spiritual and chaplaincy care for patients and loved ones of all backgrounds and beliefs
  • Bereavement support for families after a loved one passes

Medi-Cal also covers the hospice benefit for eligible patients, and most private insurance plans include hospice coverage as well. Our team explains your benefits clearly, in plain language, so there are no surprises.

Care Settings We Serve in Richmond

Hospice is not a facility you move into. It is a model of care that comes to you, wherever home is.

  • Private homes and family residences
  • Assisted living communities
  • Skilled nursing facilities

If you are unsure whether a specific address falls within our service area, call us, and we will confirm right away.

Understanding Hospice Eligibility

Hospice care may be appropriate when:

  • A physician has determined that a serious illness has a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its expected course
  • The priority of care has shifted from curative treatment to comfort and quality of life
  • Symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue are becoming harder to manage
  • Your loved one has had repeated hospitalizations and is not recovering to prior functional levels
  • Your family needs more structured daily support and guidance than you can provide alone

You do not need a referral to reach out. We offer no-obligation evaluations to help families understand whether hospice or palliative care is the right fit with no pressure and no commitment required.

Palliative Care in Richmond

Not every family is at the hospice stage yet. If your loved one is living with a serious illness and still pursuing treatment, palliative care may be the right starting point.

Palliative care focuses on symptom relief, emotional support, and helping patients and families navigate complex medical decisions at any stage of illness and alongside any treatment plan. It is not the same as hospice, and it does not require a terminal prognosis.

Grace and Glory Hospice provides palliative care throughout Richmond and Contra Costa County for families who need more support now, even if they are not yet ready to discuss hospice.

Grace and Glory Hospice is a wonderful, family-owned hospice company. One of the owners, Jane, is a nurse who has spent many years working in senior care. Her deep understanding of what families experience during such emotional times shines through in everything she does. For example, Jane often answers the phone herself. She takes the time to listen, reassure, and guide families personally. That kind of individual care and accessibility is rare in this field! The Grace and Glory team reflects that same spirit of compassion and excellence. Tekia’s warm presence makes families feel deeply supported and held, even in the most difficult moments. She has a gift for bringing calm and comfort wherever she goes. Kati, their social worker, is also compassionate and knowledgable. Grace and Glory also educates families and community partners about hospice, palliative care, and how to navigate this stage of life with dignity and grace. Our shared client received truly exceptional care from this team and their communication the whole way through was great. Thank you for providing such exceptional, personal, and heartfelt care to those in their final season of life! We are grateful for the work you do.

My grandmother was 95 years old when she began to use hospice services. She was keen on her own independence and it was important to her that she got to remain comfortable at home, and be able to continue do the things she wanted to do. Our hospice team made our home feel peaceful, and allowed us to focus on spending quality time together. We especially wanted to give thanks to Mayra, Tania, and Isabella, who helped us greatly and were always just a call or message away, and to the whole team who helped us all hold together through our fear and grief. We were surprised by how much our hospice staff would do for us, and the supplies and physical support they gave us. We weren't ready to lose her, but they made it a time where we could be together without the stress of day to day care needs. We could plan together, and it was easier to keep her safe, comfortable, and free from pain. If you are thinking about hospice services, don't hesitate to reach out to Grace and Glory.

I think that my letter to Jane, the owner of Grace and Glory, speaks for itself... "Dear Jane, I'm taking some time to thank Grace and Glory, and you specifically, for the care, support and love shown my wife and me since we came aboard. The caregivers and nurses who come into our home demonstrate a passion for providing not only the medical care we need but, equally important - caring, love and, when needed, emotional support. I must heap special credit and praise for M***, D***** and, of course, L*** who are with us routinely and whom we've come to see as family. L*** recommended Grace and Glory to us and helped us transfer from another agency, a competent organization but focused primarily on their bottom line profitability lacking your grace and compassion. Literally, everyone we have encountered with Grace and Glory has been professional, competent in their skills, knowledgeable and compassionate for D******'s condition. Sometimes, we've needed special help for an urgent situation, and help was always at hand - from your doctors, to your phone assistance late at night, to the on-call nurses who came to our home. Their commitment to HELP was ever present. Its apparent to us that the excellence in Grace and Glory comes "from the top," and that is where this note comes full circle in thanking you specifically. You certainly named your company well!
