Hospice / Palliative Care La Mesa, California
LakeView is one of three Sharp HospiceCare hospice homes in San Diego County, located in La Mesa. Like the others it is a residence rather than a clinical unit, with private rooms, spacious living areas and registered nurses on site 24 hours a day.
Sharp describes these homes as the only residences of their kind in the county, existing solely to provide emotional, physical and spiritual care at the end of life.
Sharp is documented on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Long-Term Care Equality Index for its written LGBTQIA+ policies and staff training. In a hospice setting the practical question is visiting and decision-making rights for a partner or chosen family, so ask about that specifically, and make sure your health-care proxy is in place before you need it.
Hospice care is generally covered by the Medicare hospice benefit, Medicaid or private insurance.
Recognized as a 'Leader' in the Human Rights Campaign Long-Term Care Equality Index for LGBTQIA+-inclusive policies and practices.
A policy benchmark scored by HRC in a given year; not a care-quality rating.
SourceThis organization reports policies that welcome same-gender couples and recognize chosen family. Confirm the specifics that matter to you directly.
No trans-inclusive care documentation is on file yet. This does not indicate exclusion, ask the provider about their specific practices.
No LGBTQIA+ aging staff-training credential is on file for this organization. That is not evidence of exclusion, so ask them directly what training their staff receive.

In California, nursing homes and hospices are licensed by the California Department of Public Health. Its public register is the place to confirm this provider holds a current licence and to read whatever inspection history the state publishes.
California splits the two: assisted living sits with the Department of Social Services, nursing and hospice care with the Department of Public Health.
Search Cal Health FindWe link the register rather than copying records out of it. State licensing data is published in a different shape in every state, updated on its own schedule, and a stale copy of a licence is worse than no copy.
9 things worth asking before you decide, chosen because the public record does not answer them. A blank means nobody has published the answer, not that the answer is bad.

We would like to measure how the site is used. That part uses Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies, and it is entirely your choice. Nothing about your search or anything you type is sent to it.
Either way we count anonymous visits to each listing so providers can see whether anyone found them. Those counts have no way to identify you. Read the privacy policy.
