Our staff at Faith & Hope are trained to provide physical, emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal support that our Burbank patients and their families needs on every step of their hospice care journey.

Whether they have a large extended family or a small group of loved ones, we want to be available to help them and the people that matter the most in their difficult times.
We offer four specific levels of care:
For patients seeking hospice care in Burbank CA, our routine level of care is the most common. This is often recommended for patients whose symptoms are well under control. The routine level of care includes a basic schedule of visits that may be made more or less frequent depending on the needs of the patient and their family. Our interdisciplinary team is at your service. This level of care also offers 24/7 access to the after-hours triage team, which can help address symptoms and answer any urgent questions.
For patients with more severe symptoms, our continuous care is the more appropriate option. We offer a skilled nurse at the patient’s bedside for up to 24 hours a day and frequent consultations with a physician. The patient will be monitored according to their symptoms and reaction to medications. According to the physician’s recommendation, new medications may be started or dosages may be adjusted. Faith & Hope offers continuous care in the patient’s home, board & care home, or assisted living facility. A patient may qualify for this level of care if they show symptoms of severe pain, terminal agitation/restlessness, persistent nausea and vomiting, respiratory distress, or other drastic changes of condition.
When patients have severe symptoms that need intervention or careful monitoring, hospice staff in Burbank, CA recommend a general inpatient level of care. Much like continuous care, the patient’s medication doses will be monitored and adjusted as needed. However, the general inpatient level of care is utilized when symptoms cannot be taken care of at the patient’s place of residence. GIP is offered in skilled nursing facilities only. Patients may qualify for GIP if they are currently in a facility or they may be transferred temporarily. Faith & Hope covers the room and board charges as well as transportation charges while a patient is receiving GIP.
Finally, the last level of care that is offered at Faith & Hope is respite, which extends care and support to family members and caregivers. Respite offers a patient up to five days in a skilled nursing facility in order to give caregivers a break from their responsibilities. Faith & Hope covers the room and board as well as the transportation charges involved with respite care. Many caregivers/family members choose this option when they need to go out of town for any reason or simply to have some time for self-care. This ensures that the patient is well taken care of during this period.

Faith and Hope Hospice
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
