For Physicians & Healthcare Partners

When You Refer to Alameda Care, You're Choosing a Higher Standard

We understand that referring a patient to hospice is a significant clinical decision. You need a partner who responds quickly, communicates proactively, and delivers the level of care your patients deserve. That's what we were built to do.

Rapid Response

Phone calls are returned promptly. Urgent evaluations are prioritized and coordinated the same day whenever possible. Your patients won’t wait.

Smaller Caseloads

Our clinicians carry intentionally smaller caseloads, giving them more time with each patient. This translates to better symptom management and fewer avoidable crises.

Proactive Communication

You’ll never have to chase us for updates. We keep referring physicians informed with timely, relevant communication about their patients’ status and plan of care.

Seamless Transitions

We coordinate every detail of the transition to hospice care — from intake to first visit — so your patients and their families experience continuity, not confusion.
