The Quality you Deserve, The Care You Expect
Ramona VNA & Hospice is a community-based agency providing home health and hospice services to Southwestern Riverside County, California since 1987.  With branch offices in Hemet and Sun City, our staff cares for those residing throughout the Hemet/San Jacinto, Sun City/Menifee and Temecula/Murrieta valleys. We assure that our clinical team members, who live locally, are available to help our patients, with nurses on duty, not on call, throughout the night, 24/7.

Hospice Care is About Living
When most people hear the term hospice, the first thing that often comes to mind is the loss of a loved one, the end of life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hospice Is Life! Hospice is Living!

Hospice provides specialized care to patients with life-limiting illness. It transitions curative care to comfort care, focusing on relief from pain and other symptoms so that patients live as fully, as comfortably and as long as possible. It is a philosophy of care that respects the emotional and spiritual needs as well as the physical. And hospice cares for the loved ones who care for you.

Entering the Hospice program provides a tremendous support system for the patient, family and caregivers, assuring quality and dignity through the end-of-life process. As noted in a National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) study, “There is an inaccurate perception throughout America that receiving hospice care means you have “given up”. Rather, patients or families who choose hospice care live an average of one month longer than similar patients who do not choose hospice care.

Hospice is available whether you are in a family residence, assisted living facility, skilled nursing facility, or hospital. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is appropriate for persons with a life expectancy of 6 months or less if the illness runs its expected course. But many hospice patients live far longer, improving from the attentive care they receive at home from the hospice team of healthcare professionals.

The decision to receive hospice care belongs to the patient and their family, in consultation with their physician. Hospice is appropriate when the patient feels it is the right time not when others feel it is the right time. The decision is a personal one. The CHOICE is a personal one. The Agency chosen is a personal CHOICE.

Ramona VNA & Hospice is a proven leader in the delivery of hospice care in Southwest Riverside County. As the only locally based accredited hospice agency, our team of nurses, physicians, chaplains, social workers and support staff have provided high quality, ethical care to our community for more than thirty years.

When you have a life-limiting illness and no longer desire curative treatment, consider hospice care for pain and symptom control. Think of Ramona VNA & Hospice, your local hospice provider!

Remember, you have a CHOICE when you desire hospice care. When you think of hospice, think of Life! Think of Living!
