Licensed nurses are readily available to provide assistance, answers, and specialized care, such as administering doctor-prescribed pain medication to ease discomfort and enhance the quality of life for your loved one on hospice.
A Caring Presence in Every Moment
Our team consists of more than just caregivers – they are committed companions, prepared to listen, understand, and offer comfort when both you and your loved ones need it most. Whether it’s extending a helping hand, offering a compassionate heart, or providing a supportive shoulder to lean on, we are here for you throughout this experience.
When is it Time for Hospice?
As life approaches its final stages, many individuals and families often turn to hospice care for its profound caring support. Hospice extends beyond medical treatment to provide an understanding heart where physical comfort, emotional well-being, and spiritual tranquility ease the end-of-life journey. Focusing on individualized attention, hospice enables the patient to make the most of each moment with their beloved family members. The decision to choose hospice provides the chance to create a dignified ending while their families take comfort in crafting lasting memories.

What is Hospice?
Hospice is medical care for a person with an anticipated life expectancy of six months or less. When a cure is not an option, the focus shifts to symptom management. A team of trained professionals addresses the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of the person who is dying as well as provides support to surviving family members, friends, and caregivers.
Be Present in a Beautiful, Private Setting*
The comfort of you and your loved ones is our top priority. Hospice suites accommodate overnight stays so you don’t have to be separated from one another. You are welcome to visit at any time as there are no restrictions on visitation hours within our hospice center.
Each suite includes a cozy lounging area with views of peaceful gardens. This environment provides solace and support for families and caregivers, allowing them to find strength together. Additionally, we provide comforts such as aromatherapy, relaxing music, or gentle sounds to further soothe hearts and minds.
Hospice suites are offered to residents as well as people who reside outside of our community.

Nature Helps the Grieving Process
The power of nature can be healing and help you process your feelings as you cope with grief. Use the outdoors as a way to relieve stress and recharge. It can make a huge difference in your well-being as you are going through the grieving process. Take a walk and breath in the fresh air on the connecting paths and nearby trails.
Our community sits on 42 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds adjacent to Windy Hill Preserve, a sprawling 1,200 acres of green space. The Sequoias hospice center is located on the San Francisco Peninsula in San Mateo County, between San Francisco County and Santa Clara County.
