Sharp HospiceCare provides end-of-life care and supportive services for people with life-limiting illnesses who, with input from their physicians and families, choose to forego curative treatment in favor of comfort. The organization operates two Hospice Homes and maintains a 24/7 team to deliver a broad set of hospice services. Its program emphasizes individualized care for patients and families, including bereavement support, hospice nursing, integrative therapies, spiritual care, and educational outreach through a Speakers Bureau. Based in La Mesa, California, the not-for-profit entity has served patients since 1991. Care is delivered with access to Sharp's acute-care hospitals, including Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Sharp Coronado Hospital, and Sharp Grossmont Hospital, as well as a home-based Transitions program for advanced chronic illness. Sharp HospiceCare serves patients with conditions such as AIDS, Alzheimer's, cancer, heart and kidney diseases, liver disease, stroke, COPD, dementia, and neurological disorders.
