Eternal Life Hospice serves Hermosa Beach families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in skilled-nursing facilities along the South Bay coast.
Hermosa Beach is a beachside community nestled between Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach on the South Bay coastline. The city's close-knit residential character and proximity to Torrance Memorial Medical Center and Providence Little Company of Mary make it well-connected to the regional healthcare network. Eternal Life Hospice brings coordinated hospice care directly to families in their homes and local care facilities.
We also serve Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance and El Segundo throughout the South Bay, so families do not need to navigate multiple agencies.
