Hospice of The Valleys

What Hospice of The Valleys does

Hospice of the Valleys is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospice organization headquartered in Murrieta, California, delivering end-of-life palliative care to terminally ill patients across Southwest Riverside County and Fallbrook. Founded in 1982 by two sisters who began as hospice-trained volunteers, the organization has operated continuously for more than 40 years and currently employs 11-50 staff supplemented by over 70 trained active volunteers. It is the only nonprofit hospice headquartered in the Temecula Valley and the sole 5-Star CMS-rated hospice in Riverside County.

The organization's service portfolio comprises four Medicare-defined care levels — Routine Care (general in-home hospice), Continuous Care (minimum 8-hour crisis-level nursing at home), Respite Care (up to 5 days at partner facilities), and General Inpatient Care — delivered by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, RN case managers, home health aides, social workers, spiritual care providers, and volunteers. Care is provided wherever the patient resides, including private homes, long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, board and care homes, and assisted living facilities, with 24/7 nurse triage availability. Adjunct services include grief and bereavement support (extending 13 months post-death), a We Honor Veterans Level 3/4 program, a Resource Library, and structured volunteer programs (Patient Support, By Your Side, Bereavement, Veteran, and Speaker's Bureau). There is no proprietary technology platform; documentation and care coordination follow standard CMS hospice workflows.

Revenue is generated primarily through Medicare Part A hospice benefit reimbursements, supplemented by Medi-Cal and most private insurance plans, all of which cover hospice services with no patient copays. Philanthropic revenue comprises a recurring Heart of Hospice monthly giving program ($10/$25/$50/$100 tiers), an estate planning program, a vehicle donation program, CDBG grants from the Cities of Menifee and Temecula and the Fallbrook Regional Health District, the annual Wine & Chocolate fundraiser, and proceeds from the Pechanga Charity Golf Classic. The organization allocates 86-88 cents of every dollar directly to patient care and maintains a no-denial-for-inability-to-pay policy.
