Pasadena is a distinguished city at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, home to a well-educated, diverse population and a significant senior community. The city has numerous assisted-living facilities, memory care communities and skilled-nursing centers, as well as established residential neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven and San Rafael Hills. Eternal Life Hospice coordinates care across all of these settings with an interdisciplinary team of physicians, registered nurses, social workers, chaplains and certified aides.
We also serve Arcadia, San Marino, Glendale, Alhambra and the broader Foothill communities, giving families across the eastern LA basin a unified care team.
