Central Coast Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice - CCVNA

Organization Description

The nonprofit VNA and Hospice has, since 1951, provided a wide range of home health care and hospice services, making more than 75,000 visits each year in all of Monterey, San Benito, and parts of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. The administration office is located in Ryan Ranch, Monterey, and office locations are in Salinas, Hollister, Monterey and King City.  Care is available to all in need, through Medicare, Medi-Cal, Veterans Administration benefits, Worker's Compensation, private insurance and "sponsored care" for those who cannot afford to pay for their care, within available VNA resources through gifts from the community. 

This hospice program provides physical, emotional and spiritual support to terminally ill patients and their family members.  The program's objective is to educate, empower and support the client and family to live each day as fully as possible, and to manage client's pain to enable them to die with grace, integrity and dignity.
