Hospice care in Moreno Valley
Beta Hospice has one office, in the city of San Bernardino, about 15 to 20 miles north of Moreno Valley along the 215 and the 60. Care does not happen at the office. Nurses, hospice aides, social workers and chaplains come to the person's house, apartment, board-and-care home or nursing facility anywhere in Moreno Valley, from Sunnymead and Edgemont in the west to Rancho Belago in the east.

Hospitals and care facilities nearby
Two hospitals sit in the east part of the city, close to each other. Riverside University Health System Medical Center on Cactus Avenue is the county hospital and a teaching hospital. Kaiser Permanente Moreno Valley Medical Center on Iris Avenue serves Kaiser members. Many families first hear the word hospice from a doctor or case manager at one of them.
Hospice care continues at home after a hospital discharge. When a hospital team raises hospice, we work with the discharge planners so that the first nurse visit, the hospital bed and the medicines are arranged around the day the person goes home. If the person has Kaiser, ask the Kaiser team about hospice choices and then call us so we can check coverage for your situation. Read where care happens.
March Air Reserve Base sits between Moreno Valley, Riverside and Perris, and the city grew up around it. Some families here have military ties. Veterans can ask their VA team about hospice at home and then call us so we can check coverage for the situation.
We care for people wherever they call home, including nursing facilities, RCFEs (residential care facilities for the elderly) and board-and-care homes, in coordination with facility staff. Moreno Valley has many small six-bed board-and-care homes in ordinary neighborhoods, and a hospice nurse visits a person there the same way the nurse visits a private house.
Medi-Cal plans in this city
Most people with Medi-Cal in Riverside County belong to a managed care plan. The county's Medi-Cal plans are Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) and Molina Healthcare, the same two plans as San Bernardino County, plus Kaiser Permanente for people who meet Kaiser's rules for joining. Medi-Cal covers hospice, and when you are in a managed care plan, hospice is arranged through that plan.
These are the county's plans. Listing them here does not mean Beta Hospice has a contract with each one. Whether we are contracted with your plan is checked for each patient. Call us at (844) 646-4434 with your plan card and we will tell you where things stand before care starts.
If you have Medicare, the rules are the same in every city. Medicare covers hospice care related to the terminal illness. Under Medicare, most people pay nothing for hospice care itself. There can be a copay of up to $5 per prescription for symptom medicines and 5% of the Medicare amount for inpatient respite care. Medicare does not pay room and board where you live. Read paying for care.

Moreno Valley hospice questions
Does Beta Hospice come to homes in Moreno Valley?
Yes. All of Moreno Valley is in our service area, about 15 to 20 miles south of our office. The nurse, aide, social worker and chaplain come to the person's home. Nobody has to travel to us.
How fast can a nurse visit in Moreno Valley?
A hospice nurse answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can visit when needed. For a new referral, our standard is a response within two hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once a person is on service, visits are scheduled in the plan of care, and the nurse on call decides when an extra visit is needed.
Can hospice come to a board-and-care home in Moreno Valley?
Yes. We care for people wherever they call home, including nursing facilities, RCFEs and board-and-care homes, in coordination with facility staff. The person or their representative chooses the hospice, not the home.
Where is your office?
Our office is on North D Street in the city of San Bernardino, about 18 miles by road from central Moreno Valley. It is our only office. The address, hours and a map are on the contact page.
