Aura One Hospice shares these third-party resources for your convenience. We don't control their content, and they aren't a substitute for guidance from your own care team. If a form or topic is confusing, just call us at (909) 453-0078 and we'll walk through it with you.
If your loved one has a serious illness and you're seeing more hospital visits, less appetite, more time in bed, or a shift toward comfort over cure, it's worth a conversation. There's no cost to ask, and many families tell us they wish they'd called sooner.
For most families, hospice is covered 100% by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance, frequently with no out-of-pocket cost. This includes the care team's visits, medications related to the diagnosis, and medical equipment. Our team verifies your benefits and explains everything before care begins.
Not at all. Hospice shifts the goal from curing illness to living as fully and comfortably as possible. Many patients feel better once symptoms are well managed, and care can always be revisited if circumstances change.
Most often, care is delivered right where your loved one lives, whether a private home, an assisted living community or a nursing facility. Wherever home is, our team comes to you.
We make it simple. Your team arranges any needed equipment and medications, and shows you how to keep your loved one comfortable. Most homes need only small adjustments, and we walk you through every step.
A great deal. Your team includes a social worker and chaplain for emotional support, aides who help with personal care, respite options so you can rest, and bereavement care for up to 13 months. Caring for you is part of caring for your loved one.
