Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in La Verne 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 La Verne families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in skilled-nursing facilities in the San Gabriel Valley foothills.
La Verne is a foothill community in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, home to the University of La Verne and a charming historic downtown, bordered by San Dimas, Claremont and Glendora. The city has a range of senior-living communities and board-and-care homes, with Pomona Valley Medical Center within the regional care network. Eternal Life Hospice coordinates hospice care — nursing, aide support, social work, chaplaincy and medication management — across all settings.
We also serve San Dimas, Claremont, Glendora and Pomona throughout the eastern San Gabriel Valley, so families do not need to navigate multiple agencies.
