FRHG Hospice Video

Fremont-Rideout Hospice, a member of Fremont-Rideout Health Group, is a non-profit organization of volunteers Hearts of Gold and professionals serving terminally ill patients and their families, primarily through home care. Watch the video.

The service area covers the greater part of Sutter and Yuba Communities. We honor a philosophy of care for terminally ill patients and their families. Symptom management and pain control, with spiritual and emotional support, allow a dignified death at home.

Hospice makes it possible for people to remain at home during much or all of their illness. Regular visits from professional staff teach the family how to provide the necessary care and are available 24 hours a day to assist both patient and family with the problems of the illness. Care is adjusted as needs change and continues on to help family members after the death.

"You matter because you are you. You matter to the last moment of your life, and we will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die." Dr. Cicely Saunders
