Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in El Segundo 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 El Segundo families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in skilled-nursing facilities close to the South Bay coast.
El Segundo sits on the South Bay coast adjacent to LAX, bordered by Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne and Culver City. Despite its proximity to the airport corridor, the city has a close-knit residential identity and a range of senior-care resources. Eternal Life Hospice provides coordinated hospice care — nursing, aide support, social work, chaplaincy and medication management — across all care settings.
We also serve Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne, Redondo Beach and Culver City throughout the coastal South Bay, so families do not need to navigate multiple agencies.
