needs of each patient and their family.
Our Services
At Generations Hospice & Palliative Care, we believe that every person deserves to spend their final chapter with dignity, comfort, and compassionate support.
That’s why our care plans are fully personalized to meet the unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each patient and their family.
Our interdisciplinary team—including nurses, doctors, therapists, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers—works together to provide exceptional care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Pain and Symptom Management
Our #1 goal is to relieve suffering and discomfort. Whether it’s chronic pain, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, or anxiety, we use a thoughtful combination of medications, therapies, and comfort care techniques to help patients feel at ease. We adjust care in real time to ensure that symptoms are always well managed.
What we help with:
Chronic pain relief
Nausea and vomiting
Breathlessness
Restlessness and anxiety

Hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers
Oxygen tanks and nebulizers
Wound care supplies

Our therapists work closely with your care team to provide thoughtful, goal-based sessions.
24/7 On-Call Nursing Support
Illness doesn’t follow a schedule—and neither do we. A registered hospice nurse is on call 24/7 to address medical needs, provide emergency guidance, or visit if the patient’s condition changes suddenly.
You are never alone. Help is always just a phone call away.
Emotional and Spiritual Support
Facing the end of life often brings emotional and spiritual questions. We provide non-denominational, culturally sensitive support through licensed social workers, counselors, and chaplains.
Counseling for anxiety, fear, grief, or guilt
Life review and legacy projects
Prayer or spiritual rituals (as requested)
Family meetings and emotional guidance
Pastoral care for all faiths
Volunteer Support & Companionship
Our compassionate hospice volunteers offer presence, companionship, and kindness—helping patients feel connected and less alone. Volunteers may read aloud, share music, play games, or simply sit and listen.
For families, volunteers may assist with errands, offer caregiver breaks, or provide a calm presence during difficult moments.
Caregiver Education and Family Support
We empower families to confidently care for their loved ones at home. From teaching how to give medications to helping navigate emotions, we’re here to support your journey with empathy and clarity.
Written guides and care instructions
Emergency contact numbers
Support groups and follow-up calls
Emotional coaching for family dynamics
End-of-Life Planning Support
As part of our holistic approach, we help patients and families plan ahead with confidence and peace.
This includes:
Advance healthcare directives
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders
POLST forms
Funeral and memorial planning
Legacy letter writing or life reviews
Planning removes uncertainty—and ensures the patient’s wishes are respected with love.
Bereavement and Grief Counseling
Our care doesn’t end when life does. We continue to walk with families for up to 13 months after a loss, offering grief counseling, support groups, and emotional healing resources.
We help loved ones process their grief and find comfort in community.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Caring for a loved one is beautiful—but exhausting. We offer short-term respite care that allows family caregivers to rest and recharge while we take over full care duties for a few hours or days.
Caregivers can step away without worry, knowing their loved one is safe and cared for.
From Our Clients
From the moment Generations Hospice walked through our front door, we felt a wave of peace. My mother had been battling cancer for years, and we were exhausted and overwhelmed. Their nurses, aides, and chaplain treated her with such dignity, and they made sure we understood every step of the process. They didn't just care for her—they cared for all of us. I truly don’t know how we would’ve made it through without them.

Generations Hospice was there for my father when he needed care the most. Every nurse who visited was kind, skilled, and attentive. They answered every question with patience, managed his pain perfectly, and made sure he was comfortable at home until the very end. I can't thank them enough for the grace and compassion they brought into our lives.

Long Beach, CA
Hospice is something no one wants to think about, but Generations made the process easier than we ever imagined. They helped us with medications, equipment, even emotional support. Instead of worrying about paperwork or symptoms, we were able to simply be present with my wife and say goodbye in peace. I’ll forever be grateful for that gift.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hospice care?
Hospice care is specialized medical support focused on comfort and quality of life for individuals with a life-limiting illness, typically with a prognosis of six months or less. Instead of trying to cure the illness, hospice care helps manage symptoms, reduce pain, and provide emotional, spiritual, and practical support to both patients and their families.
Who qualifies for hospice care?
To be eligible for hospice, a physician must certify that the patient has a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the disease runs its natural course. Common conditions include cancer, advanced heart failure, COPD, dementia, Alzheimer’s, kidney or liver disease, and neurological disorders like Parkinson’s or ALS.
Where is hospice care provided?
Hospice care can be delivered wherever the patient lives, including:
Their private home
Assisted living facilities
Skilled nursing facilities
Long-term care centers
At Generations, we bring personalized hospice services to the environment where your loved one feels safest and most comfortable.
Is hospice only for cancer patients?
Not at all. While hospice care often supports those with cancer, it also serves individuals with other serious illnesses, including:
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Liver or Kidney Failure
Stroke and Neurological Conditions
HIV/AIDS and more
When is the right time to call hospice?
The best time to reach out is as early as possible, even if you’re unsure whether your loved one qualifies. Early hospice involvement can ease suffering, provide caregiver relief, and help with important decisions before a crisis occurs.
We offer free evaluations and can guide you through the process—no referral needed.
Does Medicare cover hospice care?
Yes! Medicare covers 100% of the costs for hospice services related to the terminal diagnosis, including:
Medications
Medical equipment (like hospital beds and oxygen)
Nursing visits
Therapies
Home health aide support
Respite care
Chaplain and counseling services
We also accept most private insurance plans, Medi-Cal, and HMOs.
Can a patient leave hospice if they improve?
Yes. If a patient’s condition improves, they may be discharged from hospice care and resume curative treatments. They can return to hospice at any time if their condition declines again.
What’s the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Both focus on comfort and symptom relief, but:
Palliative care can be given at any stage of a serious illness and alongside curative treatments.
Hospice care is provided when curative treatments are no longer effective or desired and the focus shifts entirely to quality of life.
At Generations, we offer both, and we’ll help determine the best path for your loved one.
How soon can services begin?
Once we receive a referral and a physician’s certification, hospice services can begin within 24–48 hours, often on the same day. Our intake team handles all coordination and paperwork, making the transition smooth and stress-free.
Do you provide support for families after the patient passes?
Yes. Generations offers grief and bereavement support for families for up to 13 months following a loss. This includes counseling, support groups, and community referrals to help you heal during this difficult time.
