Hospice & Palliative Care of California

What Hospice & Palliative Care of California does

Hospice & Palliative Care of California is a family-owned, for-profit hospice provider headquartered at 23201 Lake Center Drive, Suite 110, Lake Forest, California, operating under the DBA HPCC and founded in 2019 as a dedicated hospice and palliative care entity that evolved from the predecessor OC Home Care (established 2010). The organization delivers routine home hospice and palliative care to terminally ill patients (life expectancy of six months or less) across four Southern California counties — Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles — with 24/7 service availability and an interdisciplinary clinical staff estimated at 23–25 members including nurses, hospice aides, a medical social worker, chaplain, bereavement coordinator, and administrative personnel.

The service catalog is organized around two core offerings (Hospice Care and Palliative Care) augmented by modular add-ons: music and pet therapy, structured grief and bereavement support groups, dementia care, volunteer support, physical/occupational/speech therapy, medical social services, chaplain/spiritual support, wound care, and respite care for family caregivers. The underlying technology is essentially the clinical workflow itself rather than a software platform; there is no proprietary software, app, API, or disclosed AI component. Patient acquisition is sales-led, sourced primarily through physician referrals, community resource referrals (notably residential care homes in Irvine and Laguna Niguel), and direct family inquiries via phone, fax, and email.

Revenue is generated through per-diem Medicare hospice reimbursement, California Medi-Cal (Medicaid), and private insurance, with monthly billing cadence typical of the hospice reimbursement model. The firm holds the regulatory certifications required to operate and bill — California Department of Public Health, Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), CMS, and California DHCS — which together form the licensure stack. Marketing and demand generation are run through content marketing (blog, weekly email newsletter), a five-channel social presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Yelp, TikTok), community event participation (Alzheimer's walks, grief support groups at three Orange County venues), and published patient/family testimonials. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes have been disclosed.
