When you are choosing a hospice in Bakersfield, here are some key considerations:

- Consider picking a local California-based hospice company, rather than a nationwide company. That way, you can access the staff at all levels.
- Check into the services available from the hospice in Bakersfield you are thinking about using, as well as their underlying philosophy. Make sure that your loved one’s wishes will be respected and that they and your family will receive the support they need
- Ask how long it will take a nurse to arrive at the patient’s home in Bakersfield if there is an emergency.
- Find out about the overall approach that the hospice takes to its services, and how it works to preserve the autonomy of the patient.
