VNA is dedicated to providing the highest quality health care to residents of the Central Coast by meeting their individual needs in a caring, effective, honorable, and accessible manner.
Central Coast VNA & Hospice has been servicing Monterey and San Benito Counties for over 74 years. We made 73,000 home health and hospice visits, cared for 3,900 patients, coordinated 1,800 volunteer visits, and made 2,248 bereavement contacts in 2024. The VNA Way provides high quality, compassionate, team-driven, and individualized health care in the comforts of home. We treat all patients in need without discrimination, and we cover costs for patients without insurance and/or who cannot pay for our care. We also offer community education programs and immunizations clinics.
Due to recent Medicare cuts and rising supply and service costs, we face an unprecedented funding gap. Our Big Idea is to bridge this gap to continue to treat our patients physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually at home, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, the VNA Way, regardless of their financial situations.
Since 1951, CCVNA & Hospice has been servicing Monterey County, including rural and underserved areas, by providing compassionate, fiscally responsible Home Health and Hospice Care and Community Services with an emphasis on individual patient needs and goals. Over 3,600 Monterey County Home Health and Hospice patients chose VNA in 2024. These patients, ages 25 to 107, are from many different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, including 57% Hispanic/Latino.
Ensuring we have the resources and capacity to meet the needs of seniors, caregivers, and their families as Monterey County’s elderly population grows, is critical to our mission-driven work. If patients have the choice, they much prefer home health care to hospital care. VNA recognizes that memories are made at home and not in the hospital.
VNA clinical teams are highly skilled, dedicated professionals, trained to treat the whole patient. We respect and honor our patients while educating and empowering families and caregivers.
Thank you very much for the exceptional care VNA provided to our daughter and the support given to us, her family. Your kindness, dedication, and support during such a difficult period made a profound difference in our lives and allowed her to spend her final days with comfort at home. We especially appreciate the team’s attentiveness to her well-being and willingness to answer questions at all times including after her passing.
- M. F., Monterey County
