Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in Fillmore and surrounding communities. Care may be provided in private homes, assisted-living communities, residential-care settings and skilled-nursing facilities throughout Ventura County.
Eternal Life Hospice serves Fillmore families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in care facilities throughout the Santa Clara River Valley. Our team can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
Fillmore is a small agricultural town in the heart of the Santa Clara River Valley — a tight-knit community where many families have deep roots and prefer care that is personal, unhurried and respectful of local values. Eternal Life Hospice brings that kind of care to Fillmore, with regular nursing visits, aide support, chaplaincy and social work conducted with the quiet attentiveness that rural and semi-rural families appreciate. We work with whatever setting the patient calls home, whether that is a family farm, a small residential care home or a nearby facility.
We also serve Santa Paula, Piru, Moorpark, Ventura and Camarillo, providing continuity of care across the Santa Clara Valley corridor.

Yes. Home is the most common care setting. Our nurses, aides, social workers and chaplains visit the patient at their residence. Medical equipment and medications related to the hospice diagnosis are coordinated and delivered as needed.
Same-day evaluation may be available when clinically appropriate and operationally available. After a referral or intake call, a nurse will schedule an in-person visit to complete the clinical assessment and enrollment paperwork.
Hospice is appropriate when a physician certifies that a patient has a terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less if the illness follows its natural course, and the patient and family choose comfort-focused care over curative treatment.
