Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in Port Hueneme 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 Port Hueneme families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in skilled-nursing facilities. Our team covers the South Ventura Coast and can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
Port Hueneme is a small coastal city adjacent to Oxnard, home to Naval Base Ventura County and a close-knit community of residents and military families. Many seniors here prefer to remain at home near the ocean, and Eternal Life Hospice makes that possible — providing nursing visits, aide support, chaplaincy and social work at the patient's residence throughout the city.
We also serve Oxnard, Ventura, Camarillo and Channel Islands Beach, providing coordinated care across the south Ventura coastal communities.
