Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in Culver City and surrounding communities. Care may be provided in private homes, assisted-living communities, residential-care settings and skilled-nursing facilities throughout Los Angeles County.
Eternal Life Hospice serves Culver City families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in skilled-nursing facilities throughout the Westside. Our team can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
Culver City is a compact, densely connected community on the Westside of Los Angeles. Its central location makes it easy for our team to coordinate care across multiple settings — private homes, residential care facilities and skilled-nursing communities — without the delays that can come with travel across larger geographic areas. Eternal Life Hospice brings an interdisciplinary team to Culver City families: physicians, registered nurses, social workers, chaplains and certified aides working under a single care plan.
We also serve Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Inglewood, Hawthorne and West Hollywood, covering the full Westside and South Bay corridor.

Home health care typically supports recovery or rehabilitation goals. Hospice care is appropriate when the focus shifts to comfort and quality of remaining life.
