When a loved one is living with a serious illness, it’s important to have care that feels close, calm, and comforting. At Journey Palliative and Hospice, we bring trusted, local hospice care in Ridgecrest to patients and families who need support. All of our care is 100% covered by Medicare, so there’s no out-of-pocket cost to you.
We provide care in the place your loved one calls home — whether that’s a private home, a senior facility, or a family member’s home. Our local team offers same-day admissions and 24/7 support so help is always just a phone call away.
What Is Hospice?
Hospice care is for people who are in the last stages of a serious illness and are no longer seeking treatment to cure it. Our goal is to reduce pain, relieve stress, and help families spend more time together.
Our team also helps caregivers with support, resources, and a listening ear. We’ll walk with you every step of the way.
