To choose Aria Hospice care, the patient or family must become aware of the major differences between Aria Hospice and other care alternatives for the terminally ill. Which are the following:
Aria Hospice can provide the care, support and encouragement patients and their families need to traverse the path of an end of life process. Our clinical staff of physicians, nurses, home health aides, volunteers and social workers provide the clinical care a patient needs. However we recognize the end of life path is also an emotional and spiritual path and if patients and family so choose, we provide spiritual support to fit your individual beliefs.
The Aria Hospice physician, or a patients own physician, oversees the daily care of a patient in the home or in a long term care facility. Our team of doctors, nurses, home health aides, volunteers and social workers provide care to Aria patients. Some instances require short term in-patient hospice care. In these situations Aria Hospice partners with in-patient hospice bed facilities to provide what is needed when necessary. Aria hospice brings medical equipment to your home such as hospital beds, oxygen, supplies and medications.
There are many options for hospice services and choosing the right one is important. Whether deciding for yourself or a loved one, learning what services are offered at each hospice is important
The goal of Aria Hospice is to serve as a resource to the counties of San Diego and Imperial, while providing compassionate end of life care to patients and their families.
Once a physician certifies that an illness is terminal, (a life expectancy of six months or less), they will collaborate with the Aria Hospice team for services, tailored to the needs and wishes of the patient.
Many patients have cancer, but Aria Hospice cares for individuals with many other life-limiting illness, including heart and lung disease, kidney disease, neurological disorders, stroke, Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Family and friends also receive the benefit of hospice care, to help them support the patient and adapt to changes in their lives.
Many people mistakenly believe that all hospice patients are bed-bound, critically ill, and unable to continue living life to the fullest. Hospice celebrates life and supports you in achieving your individual needs in this chapter of your life.

When a physician determines that there is no curative treatment for a particular illness, the treatment is not helping any longer or you decide that the side effects of treatment are too great, you may consider choosing comfort care as your ultimate goal.
Aggressive medical treatment focuses on curing the physical illness rather than satisfying the patient’s emotional and spiritual needs. It often requires intensive care in a clinical setting that can diminish quality of life. Hospice care has the focus of comfort, by relieving pain and other symptoms, while continuing to address emotional and spiritual needs of both the patient and family.
Hospice care neither prolongs life nor hastens death, but relieves pain and physical discomfort so that the patient can experience a more peaceful and satisfying quality of life. At Aria Hospice, care is designed to primarily take place in the home or place of residence. Many families tell us that they waited too long to take full advantage of all the benefits offered by hospice care.
