HospiceAtlas

Hospice Care in California

California has 2,062 Medicare-certified hospices serving 58 counties, according to Medicare data from Q2 2026. About 3% are nonprofit or government-run, compared with 13% nationally. 167 of them have published family-survey star ratings — Medicare publishes stars only when enough families have responded.

California license verification

California hospices are licensed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). HospiceAtlas shows a “Licensed — verified against CDPH” badge on profiles we can match to an active license in CDPH's published data.

A missing badge only means we couldn't verify a match automatically — it never means a hospice is unlicensed. Verify any license yourself on Cal Health Find.
