This course provides residential care administrators, licensees, and caregivers with a comprehensive, regulation-focused guide to coordinating hospice services within residential care environments. Designed specifically for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) but applicable to a range of care settings, the curriculum addresses the complexities of integrating hospice care while maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations. Participants will gain a deep understanding of Title 22 CCR Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 8, Section 87632, which governs hospice services in California RCFEs, and learn how to apply these standards alongside federal requirements from CMS, OSHA, HIPAA, ADA, and SAMHSA.
The course demystifies the process of requesting hospice waivers and exceptions, clarifies the division of responsibilities between facility staff and hospice agencies, and offers practical strategies for effective communication with families. Emphasis is placed on developing documentation systems that withstand scrutiny from both Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) inspectors and hospice auditors. By focusing on person-centered care, professional boundaries, and collaborative partnerships, this training empowers administrators to advocate for dignified end-of-life care, reduce liability, and protect licensure. The course is ideal for those seeking to transform hospice coordination from a regulatory challenge into an opportunity for quality improvement and resident advocacy.
