The 10 Best Hospice Services for Seniors in Midway City, CA for 2025

"I had two amazing nurses over a 24 hour period when I brought my Mom home to die after being in the hospital. They were amazing. Super attentive, caring, compassionate. They didn't leave her room and continued to provide care even after she had departed. They prepped her body, cleaned the room and made sure she was properly medicated so she was without pain. It was amazing. The male nurse even sang to her (she wasn't conscious, but he knew she could hear). I was napping on the couch in the other room and he came to get me just as she was dying. I was there when she took her last breaths. I can't say enough about this organization. They made my last day with my Mom worry free. She passed peacefully and I wish I could hug them all an thank them again for their compassion and care. "

"As a hospice care facility, a place meant to provide care for those with terminal illnesses, the care was extremely lacking. The only thing the staff should be concerned with is making their patients comfortable in their final days/weeks and this was not the case. My grandmother was frequently skipped and not given adequate pain medication, or adequate food. The facilities themselves were nice and well taken care of but the staff was negligent and I believe they contributed to my grandmother passing sooner than expected. "

"I am using Passionate Heart Hospice for my wife at home. I didn't choose them. She got to the point where we couldn't take her into the hospital, like at Kaiser, to see a doctor. So, a couple of doctors came out to see her and recommended this care center. I had never looked for one. It seemed like a good choice, and I didn't know at that time. They have licensed nurses. A nurse comes out once a week to check her vitals, work with me, and ensure she has the right medications. She needs refills, and they also have to make sure we have the right supplies, like underwear and bed pads. They also have a 24-hour-a-day on-call nurse. They call the nurse station and can get you anything you need. Then, twice a week, we have, I call them a nurse's aide, but they have people trained to bathe her, make sure that she doesn't have bed sores, and make sure she's comfortable. I've never had an issue with filling prescriptions. If I call or talk to the nurse that she's running low on a certain item, or I have to call the desk there, the prescription is often refilled that same day and delivered. So, I'm very pleased with that. We've been using the service for about six months now. I'm very pleased, and the nurses are always very reliable. They visit once a week. They will come out if there's a need for more frequent care. They stay in contact with a doctor. So, they're very attuned to my wife's needs."

"We used Evergreen Hospice Care for my husband. The hospital my husband was in recommended Evergreen Hospice Care to me. They were very professional and caring. They had doctors and nurses. They're still contacting me if I need any type of care. They have workshops and professionals to talk to. They're just a great hospice. They care about the individual. It was taken care of by Medicare. I would recommend them."

"I provide administrative support to older parents and their working care giving children. I’ve secured the assistance of Hospice Care of California and they have become my preferred resources for clients needing hospice in Orange County. They’re so incredibly knowledgeable and have always been compassionate and caring to the patient and the families. "

"Sunrise at Anaheim was beautiful. I didn't try their food but the menu looked good. The people who lived there were active. The memory care facility was very well taken care of. Their rooms were spacious. I would recommend this facility to others. "

"Vitas Healthcare provided our aunt excellent care in her last days, in her assisted living facility. This time was during the Covid Pandemic so we were not able to visit but were kept informed every day as to her condition and what types of treatment/care were being administered. Vitas offered spiritual support through a chaplain and offered grief counseling as well. We were very impressed with the level of professionalism and empathy provided by all of the Vitas staff we spoke with during this time."

When faced with a terminal illness, hospice offers a solution for patients with a goal of returning home and spending the time they have left surrounded by family and friends. It's the ideal choice for patients who are no longer wish to pursue ineffective or cumbersome interventions. This family-centered approach provides pain management, emotional healing and spiritual support in the end stages of life and in the place where most of us are most comfortable, right at home.

"I was not looking forward to any of the things related to Home care or Hospice for my father. When I first met Quincie, I assumed she was the sales person for Salus and did not give her much thought. Weeks later after she had spent hours on the phone with my sister and the insurance company trying her best to get what we were promised from the health care provider, I knew she was not a sales person. She was a case manager and took on the role with gusto and helped fight for us and did an excellent job of calming us down as we were virtually attacked with paperwork trying to scare us down or away. Lastly when my pops got worse and started to fall into hospice he had care every single night, as nurses were checking on him daily making sure his last days and hours were not spent in pain. Everyone's experience will of course not be the same but for me and my family Salus, Quincie and the whole team were great."

"I had used Silverado Hospice for my wife. I thought it was excellent. They called me several times a day when their caregiver had gone to check on her. I was very pleased with it. It was very good. "

"We signed up with Vitas after a bad experience with another hospice. With the previous company, my father was not only treated with a lack of respect, his painful symptoms were disregarded. It was hard to make a switch, but we are so glad we did. I was present on Marilyn’s first day and her last with my dad, and many in between. She was amazing in every respect. She immediately deduced that his abdominal pain was due to a urinary tract blockage and catheterized him on the spot. She took excellent care of him at every visit and gave him all the time he needed. We know he was in pain, but she did everything possible to minimize his suffering. What really made her stand out to our family was her genuine compassion and concern for my dad (and my mom too). She always spoke directly to him, treated him as the intelligent adult that he was in his prime, and was so kind to him. He went from not wanting a nurse to asking when Marilyn would be there. She honored his dignity and his privacy which was so important to him. Marilyn also texted the whole family regularly to keep us in the loop. She followed through promptly for medicines, medical equipment, supplies, and other details. During an uncertain time, Marilyn guided us and helped us prepare for my dad’s passing. Everyone my family interacted with at Vitas was wonderful. I know my dad liked Robert, who gave him baths. We appreciate everyone at your company who helped us, including the ambulance EMTs who showed up quickly when my dad fell and cut his head. Vitas, and Marilyn specifically, made my dad’s last days happier and more comfortable that we ever anticipated. Thank you so much. "

"My father was placed into hospice. Soomi, Miho, Hope and Takea gave my dad excellent and exceptional care. They were all gentle and showed so much compassion. They are also so skilled in their professions. We spoke to the doctor who was also so knowledgeable, kind and guided us through this whole hospice process. I had so much confidence in all of them. If you are faced with a decision to place a loved in hospice I recommend Hope International hospice wholeheartedly. Thank you Soomi, Miho, Hope Takea from the bottom of my heart. I am forever grateful."

"Stay away from Monarch. We hired them for my father who suffered from a great deal of needless pain at the end of his life. Monarch showed little to no interest in seeing him. They mainly just sent drugs and equipment via the mail. He couldn't swallow pills yet that was what they sent because they spent so little time with him. They also never showed how the oxygen or nebulizer worked. So when my father struggled to breath they were giving instructions over the phone. My father's digestive system stopped working but we didn't know because we're not doctors and Monarch rarely stopped by. We never saw a doctor. Stay away from Monarch is all I can say. My father suffered in large part because we picked the wrong company."
