The 10 Best Hospice Services for Seniors in Grand Terrace, CA for 2025

"Companion Home Health's staff was very good. We had an RN who came once a week and a CNA who came twice a week to help with bathing my mom. The RN would check vitals and test her blood glucose just to make sure we were still on target. The doctor who was assigned to my mom came once a month. They were great. The nurse's aide on occasion wouldn't show up the day she was assigned and would come the next day, and on occasion they were lacking in the supplies that they were supposed to provide, but outside of that, their RNs were fabulous, and their office staff was incredible. At times, it was confusing, only because I'm the power of attorney overseeing my mom's care, but my sister was living with her, and the staff would get confused as to who they needed to update. The last RN we had though, Shawn, was fabulous. He not only updated my sister with everything, but he also called me afterward and let me know what was going on. He was incredible and a godsend."

"My mother has hospice at home from Goldberg Hospice Care. The hospital recommended that she needed to be in hospice, and that's how we end up having the service that we have at this time. They're there 24 hours for us. Even in the middle of the night, if I feel like my mother is acting or doing something I'm unfamiliar with, I'll give them a call, and they can have somebody within an hour here. They come and see her every two days, they call me, and they provide me with all her medications and necessities like liners, diapers, and wipes. They are amazing. They're doing everything they can to provide my mother comfort, and they're training me and guiding me with everything that I need to know to be there for her one hundred percent."

"Nova Home Hospice stands out among the rest for its superior care, professionalism, and compassionate attention. Their staff are highly qualified and consistently responsive to every need. They are efficient and they take the time to ensure patients and their families feel individually valued and cared for. My dear father received home health and hospice (HH&H) services on and off for 4 years. If only we had discovered Nova first. The other providers were consistently hurried and sporadic in responsiveness. Our family thought maybe there were just too many HH&H patients in the SoCal region to expect high quality care from such a busy, overworked, underpaid industry. Nova Home Health and Hospice gave us hope again that it IS possible to receive genuine compassion and thorough care for HH&H needs. Our family cannot thank this company enough. From Yvonne the director to Michael the administrator to Eileen the owner - this company knows what they are doing, they do it to the absolute best of their ability, they love helping people, and they demonstrate integrity, honesty, and compassion on a daily basis."

"My mom was getting palliative care with Angels On Earth Hospice. They do palliative care and they do hospice. My mom was on hospice with them. They were great with her. They showered her twice a week. Their nursing is on call 24/7. Medications were sent home. They monitored her medications, they monitored her care, and they checked her vitals. They're very patient with her. They're very communicative. They were very compassionate with my mom. They're a great service for hospice care. We're satisfied. They just came in and provided this service. They did what they had to do."

"My younger sister needed to be cared for when she was dying. We were recommended to try the Claremont Care Center. My sister was a resident at the Care Center for four months. She was not only treated with care for her bodies needs, but with genuine love and respect. I would recommend this facility to anyone in need of specialized care of this kind. "

"I called in Hope Hospice for my mom when she was too weak to continue to live in assisted living. That phone call to Hope Hospice made all the difference for mom and our family. The entire staff, from the intake counselor, nurses, case manager, spiritual staff, everyone listened, acted without hesitation to help us, provided compassionate care and was without a doubt a full partner with our family during mom's last months. We had another hospice for my dad in another city that I thought was fine until I was able to compare them to Hope Hospice. The difference was that Hope Hospice was always there for us under any circumstances at all hours of the day and night. I cannot say enough positive things about our entire experience with this organization. "

"My mother availed the services of Care First Hospice. We've had them care for us for about three and a half months. We've got a lot of great care out of them and they tried to work with us. We were quite demanding at times and they did try to take care of what we needed. Well, my mother started on hospice because she had bad pain. So, hospice had to work with us a lot. We had to call them out to replace the catheters, because once we got her catheters, then we were able to give her some type of cocktail to keep her asleep at night. That was a major help to her and to us who were caring for her. You've got a lot of different issues going on with her, she had good days and bad days. They worked with us, and we've developed a relationship with a woman that was the shower lady. She would come three days a week and shower my mom. Then we had the nurse that comes twice a week. We got to know them, and it became a pretty good relationship. She had an appointment trying to find out what was going on with her leg, so we had to get revoked at the hospice to go to this appointment. Down the road, the hospice was trying to do different things trying to lower my mom's pain level, and it made my mom go out of her mind completely. We had to put her in the hospital, so then we got revoked off hospice. After that visit, we ended up putting her on the board and care. The hospice followed us there, but we changed the nurses and that was more difficult. That's when our problem started with them because this new nurse had no idea of where we have come from and how we got there. She started changing some things, which she shouldn't have changed and they started becoming more difficult. When my mom was pulling out the catheter, she couldn't show up for three or five days. That's not going to work. One time they didn't show up for a couple of days, and my mom was awake that whole time, wouldn't go to sleep at night, and fell out of bed. That's why we changed hospices. They said they were 24 hours. If at night, I called, I'm going to have to call an emergency. They couldn't get to me a lot of times until an hour and a half, or two hours. There are times when they can't get to you for five hours. So, if I need somebody in a hurry, I can't wait an hour and a half for people who are too far away from me. That was a real drawback. But I could call them every single day, and they would work with me. One nurse lived very close to my mom, 10 minutes away. But when it wasn't her day to work or she wasn't on call, then they had to send somebody out from out of the area. I don't know much about the billing because we didn't get the bill. We had no problems in this with them in that manner. If we needed something, they would get it and they were always the ones that arrange for transportation for my mother from the hospital to the board and care. I give them a lot of high marks for all their effort and their energy. Sometimes you just have a lot of high expectations, especially when it's your loved one. So, sometimes our demands could have been unrealistic."
