MONTEREY, CA, UNITED STATES, October 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In response to increasing community needs, Central Coast VNA & Hospice has announced expanded support for registered nursing care and interdisciplinary hospice services across Monterey County, Salinas, Hollister, Santa Cruz, and surrounding Central Coast regions. The organization continues its mission to provide home-based, compassionate care through its nonprofit model serving families navigating complex health challenges, including terminal illness.

As more families search for registered nursing care in Monterey, CA and the best hospice care options nearby, VNA reinforces its commitment to providing clinically sound, emotionally supportive, and accessible care throughout every stage of serious illness. For over 74 years, Central Coast VNA & Hospice has remained a trusted healthcare resource, delivering specialized services that allow patients to remain at home or in residential care settings.

Key Details About VNA’s Hospice Services:
• In-Home Hospice Care: Delivered in private homes and assisted living facilities, focusing on comfort, symptom management, and emotional support.
• Interdisciplinary Team Approach: Includes registered nurses (RNs), hospice physicians, licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), nurse practitioners (NPs), medical social workers, chaplains, hospice aides, and trained volunteers.
• 24/7 Availability: Clinicians provide fully staffed care, including access to critical medications, equipment, and on-call support any time of day.
• Whole-Person Support: Services address physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs, with emphasis on quality of life and family involvement.

In addition to hospice care, Central Coast VNA & Hospice provides home health nursing, in-home palliative care, rehabilitative therapies, and bereavement services, forming a true continuum of care for patients facing long-term or life-limiting illnesses.

“We’ve seen a significant uptick in local demand for in-home hospice and palliative services,” said Jane Russo, CEO of Central Coast VNA & Hospice. “This expansion helps us meet that need responsibly, while staying true to our nonprofit mission and patient-centered philosophy.”

Recent reports from the California Health Care Foundation highlight an ongoing shift toward home-based care across the state.
