Hospice Care in Fremont, CA

Compassionate Hospice Care, Right Where You Are in Fremont

Hospice care offers a different kind of support. It’s not about giving up. It’s about choosing quality of life, managing pain and symptoms, and spending meaningful time with the people who matter most.

Grace and Glory Hospice is a CHAP-Certified, family-owned hospice serving Fremont and the broader Alameda County community. Our Director of Nursing, Jane Porter, founded this hospice after 20 years as a hospice nurse because she saw firsthand what compassionate, well-run care could do for patients and families. She built this organization so that every family we serve would feel the difference.

You’ll have direct access to the people who lead and own this company. That’s not something you’ll find at a large corporate hospice.

What Hospice Care in Fremont Includes

When your loved one begins hospice care with us, a dedicated team comes directly to them, wherever they call home. Under the Medicare Hospice Benefit, covered services typically include:

• Registered Nurse visits for ongoing symptom management and clinical assessment
• Physician and Medical Director coordination with your loved one’s existing care team
• Certified Nursing Aides (CNAs) for personal care, bathing, and hygiene support
• Social work services for care planning, community resources, and emotional support
• Chaplain and spiritual care that respects your family’s faith and traditions
• Bereavement support for family members, both before and after the loss
• Medications, medical equipment, and supplies related to the hospice diagnosis
• Respite care to give primary caregivers time to rest

Every plan of care is built around your loved one’s specific goals, values, and comfort, not a standardized protocol.

Serving Fremont’s Diverse Community

Fremont is home to a large population with roots across South Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and beyond. Culture, language, and family tradition are not small details in end-of-life care. They are central to how a family grieves, decides, and finds meaning.

Our team approaches every family with cultural sensitivity and a genuine desire to understand what matters to them before care ever begins. We recognize that the definition of family, and the role of family in caregiving, looks different from household to household. We honor those differences.

Whether your loved one lives in the Warm Springs district, Mission San Jose, Centerville, Irvington, or another Fremont neighborhood, our team comes to them.

Who Qualifies for Hospice Care in Fremont?

According to Medicare guidelines, a patient is eligible for the Medicare Hospice Benefit when:

• A physician certifies a prognosis of six months or less if the illness follows its expected course
• The patient, or their legal representative, chooses comfort-focused care over curative treatment
• The patient is enrolled in Medicare Part A

Hospice care is appropriate for many serious illnesses, including heart failure, COPD, cancer, dementia, kidney disease, liver disease, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease. You do not have to be in the final days of life to begin hospice.

If you’re unsure whether your loved one qualifies, we offer no-obligation care evaluations. We’ll come to you, review their current situation, and give you an honest, straightforward answer.
