Hospice waivers in Lassen County care homes: none on file
Lassen County has 1 state-licensed residential care home on the California Department of Social Services licensing record (retrieved September 13, 2026), and none currently holds a hospice waiver on file. "Not on file" is not a "no": a home can seek the state's approval when the need arises, and the county directory below lists every licensed home.
California requires an approved hospice waiver, or an exception from the department, before a licensed home may keep a resident receiving hospice services. Those are the department’s own words (CDSS Provider Information Notice 22-24-ASC, citing 22 CCR §87632).
An exception is granted case by case, and the licensing record does not publish it. So a home with no waiver on file has not refused hospice — ask the home, and ask its hospice agency.

What is a hospice waiver in a California care home?
"Hospice waiver" is the state’s term for the approval a residential care home must hold before a resident receiving hospice services may remain in the home — unless the department has granted that home an exception instead (22 CCR §87616(c)). The waiver belongs to the home’s license; the hospice care itself is delivered by a separately licensed hospice agency the family chooses. A home without the waiver on file is not refusing hospice — the record shows no waiver, which is not the same as no route, and every approval decision stays with the Department.
What do state inspections show for these homes?
State inspectors filed 5 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months across Lassen County's 1 licensed home (CDSS facility records, retrieved September 13, 2026). We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored — so open any home above to read its record.
