HOSPICE.

Because Life Matters.

You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.

Dame Cicely Saunders, nurse, physician and writer, and founder of hospice movement (1918 – 2005)

About Us

The name Aurora Spring is derived from two natural phenomena that symbolize life (aurora) and peace (spring), which are the values that our company promises to deliver when providing hospice care. 

The aurora borealis (commonly known as the “northern lights”) are beautiful, lively, brilliant lights that would only appear on the darkest nights. They symbolize our goal to deliver extraordinary care to people who are going through the end of their life’s journey. End of life can be a daunting topic, just like the darkest nights, but our goal is to be there alongside you to allay any fears and provide you with the utmost support and comfort physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We promise to be the
northern lights of your darkest night. 

A spring of water symbolizes calmness, serenity, and peace of mind.  Our company strives to ensure that every hospice patient we serve will have a smooth and peaceful transition. We believe that by providing our patients with holistic and compassionate end-of-life care, we can provide a peaceful end-of-life experience.

Aurora Spring Hospice Care is created by group of professionals who understands the challenges each family goes through during the final stages of life. We are dedicated in providing compassionate end-of-life care that comes from the expertise of our team of professionals and volunteers, each of whom is committed to living up to the ideals of our mission statement.

Received accreditation by The Joint Commission which is considered the gold standard in health care and is nationally recognized by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) for hospice Medicare certification.

What is Hospice Care?

 Hospice is a comprehensive, holistic program of care and support for terminally ill patients and their families. Hospice care changes the focus to comfort care (palliative care) for pain relief and symptom management instead of care to cure the patient’s illness.

Who is Eligible for Hospice Care?

Patients with Medicare Part A can get hospice care benefits if they meet the following criteria:

  • They get care from a Medicare-certified hospice
  • Their attending physician (if they have one) and the hospice physician certifies them as terminally ill, with a medical prognosis of 6 months or less to live if the illness runs its normal course
  • They sign an election statement to elect the hospice benefit and waive all rights to Medicare payments for the terminal illness and related conditions

After certification, the patient may elect the hospice benefit for:

  • Two 90-day periods followed by an unlimited number of subsequent 60-day periods.
  • After the second, 90-day period, the recertification associated with a hospice patient’s third benefit period, and every subsequent recertification, must include documentation that a hospice physician or a hospice nurse practitioner had a face-to-face (FTF) encounter with the patient. The FTF encounter must document the clinical findings supporting a life expectancy of 6 months or less.

All hospice care and services offered to patients and their families must follow an individualized written plan of care (POC) that meets the patient’s needs. The hospice interdisciplinary group establishes the POC together with the attending physician (if any), the patient or representative, and the primary caregiver. (CMS.gov)

If you do not have Medicare, other options can pay for hospice services. Medicaid (Medi-Cal) covers 100% of hospice-approved services. Medicaid will reimburse hospice at about the same rate as the Medicare benefit. Payment for hospice can also come from private insurance or an HMO since these also include hospice benefits. Another option is private pay.
