Frequently Asked Questions About Hospice in Contra Costa County

Does hospice mean giving up on my loved one?
No. Hospice means shifting focus from curing an illness to ensuring comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Many families describe it as finally getting the support they desperately needed all along.
Can my loved one still see their regular doctor?
Yes. Your physician can remain involved in your care. Hospice works alongside your existing medical team, not in place of it.
What if we’re not sure it’s the right time?
That’s completely normal. Many families aren’t certain when hospice is appropriate. A conversation with our team can bring clarity without any pressure. We’re happy to talk through your situation and help you understand your options.
How much does hospice cost?
Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal, and most private insurance plans. Most families in Contra Costa County pay nothing out of pocket for hospice services.
Will hospice care be the same quality as what we’d get at a big corporate provider?
Often, it’s better. As a locally owned hospice, we can make decisions quickly, respond to families personally, and prioritize care over corporate profit targets. Our owner is a working hospice nurse, not a distant CEO.

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.

Grace & Glory's approach and philosophy to hospice care is absolutely wonderful. A company ran by a nurse whose focus is on their patients comfort.

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!

I have had the pleasure of working with the Grace and Glory team, they are kind, professional and always go the extra mile for who they are carrying for. I have worked with different families that have used Grace and Glory and each family has nothing but wonderful things to say. They work as a team to support the patient and the family. If a family member needs Hospice support I recommend Grace and Glory.
