More about this provider
| LIEM Hospice's own site (its name is presented with the tagline 'Love Inspires Every Moment') describes a group of caring professionals dedicated to providing physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional comfort to patients and their loved ones, bringing dignity and comfort home through compassionate end-of-life care, with a patient-centric approach and personalized care plans that address each patient and family's needs. | |
| Services and programs | Compassionate end-of-life hospice care focused on pain relief and symptom management, providing physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional comfort to patients and their loved ones, with personalized care plans. Four levels of care are described: Routine Care (the most common level, provided in the patient's preferred home setting, with routine visits by the different disciplines); Continuous Care (activated if routine care is not sufficient, typically for crisis or symptom management); General In-Patient care (activated in a nursing home if the patient requires a higher level of care); and Respite Care (provided for families needing relief or caregiver support, with the patient placed under care in a nursing home for 5 days). The site also describes emotional and spiritual end-of-life support, grief and bereavement services for families during and after the patient's end-of-life journey, creative art therapy (named in its hospice-versus-palliative-care comparison), and a free in-home evaluation. |
| Who it serves | People who are terminally ill and their loved ones — the site states hospice eligibility requires the patient to be certified by a doctor to be terminally ill and expected to live six months or less, and to accept palliative care instead of curative treatment. Care is provided wherever the patient calls home, including a private residence, an assisted living community, or a nursing home. |
| Payment types it states | The homepage states: 'Hospice services are fully covered under Medicare/Medi-cal. This includes nursing care as well as medication and equipment related to the patient's life-limiting diagnosis. Many private insurance companies may cover hospice with no out-of-pocket expenses to the patient which is confirmed upon checking eligibility.' It also states the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs covers hospice care for veterans, and that medications, deductibles, and co-pays not related to the terminal illness are usually the patient's responsibility. |

Does Medicare pay for hospice?
Yes. Medicare Part A pays for hospice when a doctor says you have 6 months or less to live if the illness runs its normal course. You choose comfort care over care to cure the illness. Hospice is paid by Original Medicare even if you have a Medicare Advantage plan. Your Advantage plan still covers care that is not part of the hospice benefit.
What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Palliative care is comfort care that can start at any stage of a serious illness. You can get it while you still get treatment to cure the illness. Hospice is palliative care for the end of life. It starts when a doctor says you have 6 months or less to live, and you stop treatment aimed at a cure.
