The 10 Best Hospice Services for Seniors in San Bernardino County, CA for 2025

"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 husband has been placed on hospice through VITAS Healthcare. We have him at home and the care providers and the nurses come here. A lady comes in 3 days a week, she showers and shaves him, brushes his teeth, and grooms him. A nurse comes in once a week and does his vitals and adjustment if necessary. They're great and understanding, and they work very well with him because he's at a stage where he is agitated and angry with the people that he doesn't know. They're very patient with him. We're very satisfied."

"We have been using Companion Home Health for six weeks now. My husband's primary care doctor chose them for us. The caregivers seem very professional. They come when they say they're going to come. The physical therapy has helped the most. My husband is at least able to get up and down out of chair and bed by himself more. He is walking with his walker longer distances. The nurse comes and takes his blood pressure and temperature and checks his diabetes. They make sure that his diabetes is under controll. Every two months, a podiatrist comes up for his diabetic feet. At one time, my husband woke up one morning, and his right arm was swollen and he could hardly move it. I called them, and they sent a nurse within a couple of hours. So I was happy that they could come and I didn't to have to pack him up and take him to a doctor or emergency room. Also, they are working with Medicare and the supplemental insurance, and they don't bother us with financial things at all. I like that too. "

"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. "

"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."

"Gentiva Hospice of Victorville was a lifesaver. I did not know Medi-care would cover it after mom did not fill out her yearly Medi-Cal paperwork and got canceled. Gentiva got our call and came to help within 24 hours. Their nurses are compassionate and loving to the patient. My mom really liked her nurse and only said wonderful things about her. We got the hospital bed, oxygen, diapers, bed baths and they took over ordering her medications, one less thing to worry about. When I had to cancel their services to move her to a facility that did not allow hospice care, they got the termination letter to me within 15 minutes so I could move her to a hospital for 24 hour care we could no longer give. I am completely pleased with Gentiva of Victorville. They even had religious help and a social worker. I am so happy they came to help in our time of need and recommend them for any loved family member, or anyone Sandy M. "

"Glendora Community Care Hospice had become a "good friend" in the past six months of my wife's life. Now, at the end, I am moved to tell the world that all the staff of this institution have performed an outstanding service to the patient and the care-giver, yours truly, and are not just highly recommended by us, but will also be considered a friend for the future. The service we received was highly professional, cheerful at all times and rendered with loving care. "They hardly come any better!""

"My dad used to have hospice care from Vitas Hospice Service. The nurse came once a week and the person who assisted for his bath came twice a week. They also sent medicine through mail and the doctor came once every three weeks. "

"My husband is using Community Hospice of Victor Valley, and I am very pleased with the team that they have for us. Each one of the individuals is very pleasant, very thorough, and very knowledgeable. They come in to our home. They have a social worker that comes when I call or comes by at least once a week. One lady gives my husband a bath three times a week. "
