Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in Point Mugu 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 Point Mugu families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in skilled-nursing facilities along the Ventura County coast.
Point Mugu is a coastal community in western Ventura County along Pacific Coast Highway, bordered by the Point Mugu State Park and Naval Base Ventura County. The community's remote coastal setting means families benefit greatly from a hospice provider who comes directly to the home. Eternal Life Hospice provides nursing visits, aide support, social work, chaplaincy and medication management coordinated through facilities in nearby Oxnard and Port Hueneme.
We also serve Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Camarillo and Ventura throughout West Ventura County, so families do not need to navigate multiple agencies.
