St. Mary’s Hospice focuses on an important truth: we only have one chance to get hospice care right, and it is too important to get wrong. That conviction drives every decision we make—from how we staff and train our team to how quickly we respond when a referral is made. We hold ourselves to a standard where comfort, dignity, and respect are not promises but expectations exceeded every day.
As a local, independent hospice with more than a decade of service, we focus on excellence you can feel: hand-picked clinicians and caregivers, a live person answering the phone 24/7, rapid admissions when time matters most, and whole-family support that extends beyond the bedside. Our interdisciplinary team members, including medical directors, attending physicians, nurse practitioners, skilled nurses, hospice aides, chaplains, social workers, volunteers, and therapists, work in concert to anticipate needs, manage symptoms expertly, and guide each family with clarity and compassion.
St. Mary's Hospice stands apart as a clinician-owned and operated agency with more than a decade of service to the Inland Empire. Now more than 30 caring professionals strong, we provide 24-hour service for our clients. Doctors across the region recommend St. Mary's Hospice for our strong history of higher levels of care not offered by other institutions or agencies. They also prefer our responsiveness, with immediate response to referrals available and many patients seeing our clinicians within three hours of a referral. Referring physicians like having the option of staying on as the hospice attending physician while we provide the other hospice services or delegating the hospice attending physician role to our experienced hospice doctors.
St. Mary's Hospice maintains accreditation from The Joint Commission (JCAHO), widely regarded as the gold standard in healthcare quality and safety. This recognition affirms our commitment to rigorous policies, evidence-based care, and continuous improvement.
We are Medicare certified, ensuring eligible patients can use the Medicare hospice benefit for comprehensive hospice and palliative care services coordinated by our interdisciplinary team.
