Little is known about these adult hospices. The purpose of our study was to describe the characteristics of adult hospices in California that provided care to children from 2018 to 2021. Using public data from the California Home Health Agencies and Hospice Annual Utilization Report, we conducted a longitudinal, retrospective descriptive study to examine the effects of hospice characteristics on adult hospices which provide care to children. Market, mission, operational, and financial characteristics were measured via the California utilization data using descriptive statistics. Service area was measured via latitude and longitude public data. Hospice location maps were generated for year 2018 and year 2021. The 148 hospices in the study had distinct organizational profiles, mainly small, with broad service coverage areas, in rural and urban communities with predominantly nurses visiting children. There was a significant decline (32%) in availability of adult hospices caring for children between 2018 and 2021, particularly in northern California. Hospice economics, lack of familiarity with Medicaid, and staff comfortability with caring for children in hospice, were not driving this decline. Our study provides critical insight into the characteristics of adult hospices in California providing care for children and has important policy implications.
