Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in Malibu 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 Malibu families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care at home along the coast and in canyon communities. Our team is experienced reaching patients in remote residential areas and can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
Malibu stretches along 21 miles of Pacific coastline and up into the Santa Monica Mountains — a geography that requires a hospice team experienced in serving remote residential communities. Many Malibu families live in canyon homes, beachfront properties or gated coastal estates where maintaining the patient's environment is a high priority. Eternal Life Hospice serves all of these settings, bringing nursing, aide support, chaplaincy and social work directly to the patient rather than requiring a move to a facility.
We also serve Pacific Palisades, Agoura Hills, Calabasas and the Conejo Valley, providing continuous care along the coastal and mountain corridor.

Most Medicare-covered hospice services have little to no out-of-pocket cost. Limited copayments may apply in specific circumstances. Coverage depends on eligibility, the terminal diagnosis and the individualized plan of care. Learn about Medicare hospice coverage.

Yes. Our team is experienced navigating Malibu's varied geography. Whether the patient lives in a canyon, on a coastal bluff or in a gated community, we schedule nursing visits and coordinate supplies to reach the patient's home.
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.
Patient safety is always the priority. In the event of an emergency evacuation, our team coordinates with the family to ensure care continues in an alternative safe setting. We communicate proactively and maintain 24/7 nurse access at all times.
A conversation costs nothing and brings clarity. We will guide you from there.
