Frequently asked questions
How many hospices serve Santa Cruz County, CA?
28 Medicare-certified hospices include at least one Santa Cruz County ZIP code in the service area reported to Medicare, as of Q2 2026.
Are the hospices serving Santa Cruz County nonprofit or for-profit?
Of the 28 hospices serving Santa Cruz County, 8 are nonprofit or government-run and 20 are for-profit, according to Medicare ownership data. Many families consider ownership alongside survey ratings.
Does Medicare cover hospice care in Santa Cruz County?
Yes. The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers hospice care nationwide — usually at little or no cost to the family — when a doctor certifies a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Every hospice listed here is Medicare-certified.
How do I know which hospices serve my address?
Each hospice reports the ZIP codes it serves to Medicare. Enter your ZIP code in the finder on the homepage to see exactly which hospices list it — then call to confirm, because service areas can change between Medicare updates.
What do the star ratings mean?
Stars come from Medicare's CAHPS survey, which asks bereaved family caregivers about their experience. Medicare publishes a star rating only when a hospice has enough survey responses — a missing rating never means poor care.
Are these hospices licensed in California?
Profiles showing a “Licensed — verified against CDPH” badge matched an active license in California Department of Public Health data. A profile without the badge only means we couldn't verify a match automatically. You can verify any hospice's license yourself on Cal Health Find.
