Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in San Marino 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 San Marino families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home in this distinguished residential community and in care facilities throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Our team can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
San Marino is one of the most prestigious residential communities in Southern California — a small, quiet city of grand homes and manicured gardens where many families have lived for generations. Seniors here often prefer to remain in their homes for as long as possible, and Eternal Life Hospice makes that a dignified reality with regular nursing visits, aide support, chaplaincy and social work provided with the discretion and care this community values.
We also serve Pasadena, Arcadia, Alhambra, Monrovia and the broader San Gabriel Valley, offering a unified care team for families across the area.

Yes. Home is the most common care setting. Our nurses, aides, social workers and chaplains visit the patient at their residence. Medical equipment and medications related to the hospice diagnosis are coordinated and delivered as needed.
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.
Yes. Our hospice medical director works in close communication with the patient's existing physicians. Families with established specialist relationships do not need to change doctors — hospice care is layered onto the existing care team.
