Your ally in hospice

Sanctuary Hospice is a locally owned and operated patient centered agency in Sacramento, California. Having a serious or chronic illness comes with challenges. While your diagnosis is not your choice, how you live is. At Sanctuary Hospice we recognize that you are not your diagnosis. Our team of professionals customizes a care plan to meet your unique needs, one that will provide you with the best quality of life possible. Patients can receive services where they call home: private residence, nursing facility, assisted living, or other facility. Sanctuary Hospice is dedicated to changing the way our community experiences life-threatening illness, grief, and loss.

Customized For You

We understand everyone‘s hospice situation is different, so we make sure to customize your care plan to fit your individual needs.

Someone you can count on

Hospice is a special kind of care that focuses on the quality of life for people who are experiencing an advanced, life-limiting illness. Hospice care provides compassionate care for the last phases of an incurable disease process so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible.

The hospice philosophy accepts death as the final stage of life: it affirms life, but does not try to hasten or postpone death. Hospice care treats the person and symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself. A team of professionals work together to manage symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice care is also family-centered – it includes the patient and the family in making decisions.
