Who We Are

Hospice of Amador & Calaveras is an independent, non-profit healthcare provider of end-of- life care, and spiritual and psychological support to patients facing a terminal illness. Our grief support services are available as a free resource to the entire community, including children.

Our interdisciplinary team includes doctors, registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, medical social workers, spiritual care providers, hospice aides, and volunteers.

Hospice of Amador & Calaveras is licensed by the State of California Department of Health Services and Medicare/MediCal certified. We receive financial support from Medicare, HMOs, MediCal and private insurance providers. However, as an independent non-profit, we rely on the support of community donors to eliminate the shortfalls that are not covered by insurance. In over 40 years, we have never turned away a patient for the inability to pay. We proudly serve Amador & Calaveras Counties.

Vision

As a highly-skilled and compassionate team, our vision is to sustain and continually improve our ability to provide extraordinary care in our community both today and into the future, so that members of our community select Hospice of Amador & Calaveras as their preeminent choice for hospice care.
