We deliver care in the comfort of home across Marina and nearby communities. Your plan is built with your goals and guided by your physician.
Who qualifies & how to start
Choosing between home health and hospice starts with your goals of care. At Central Coast VNA & Hospice, we work with you and your physician to choose what fits best, then build a plan that supports you at home in Marina.
- Hospice: For people with a life-limiting illness when the goal is comfort and quality of life, often with a physician’s estimate of about six months or less. Speak with your doctor or contact VNA to begin, and we will coordinate quickly with support available day and night.
- Home Health: For patients who need skilled nursing or therapy at home after illness, injury, or surgery, with the goal of improving function and safety. Ask your doctor to refer you to VNA or reach out through our website, and our coordinators will guide the referral and scheduling.
Insurance, costs & Medicare basics
We work with you to explain coverage before care begins. Most families have little to no out-of-pocket costs for hospice, and many home health services are covered under Medicare or other plans.
- Hospice: Covered by Medicare Part A, with similar coverage through Medi-Cal and most private insurance, usually including related medications, equipment, and supplies; as a nonprofit, donor support also helps sustain VNA community programs and services.
- Home Health: Many services are covered under the Medicare home health benefit; VNA also accepts Central California Alliance for Health, Blue Shield, and select individual plans, and we review benefits up front and coordinate with your physician so care starts smoothly and aligns with your goals.
