About this hospice
Sheltering Arms Hospice Care, Inc is a Medicare-certified hospice serving North Hollywood, California, and surrounding communities in Los Angeles County. CMS Care Compare data lists this hospice as certified since September 20, 2022. The data provided does not specify whether the hospice is operated on a for-profit, non-profit, or government basis; families are encouraged to confirm ownership details directly with the hospice or on Medicare Care Compare.
CMS gathers feedback from family caregivers through the CAHPS Hospice Survey, but a star rating, percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, and percentage rating the hospice 9 or 10 have not been published for this provider in the data available here. This is often the case when a hospice has too few surveyed patients for CMS to report reliable figures, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality.
Similarly, CMS composite process measure and care index scores are not available in this data set, so no comparison to the Los Angeles County or California state average composite score of 93.41 can be made at this time. Sheltering Arms Hospice Care, Inc serves 22 ZIP codes from its North Hollywood office.

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
