Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in Santa Paula 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 Santa Paula families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in care homes and in nearby facilities throughout the Santa Clara River Valley. Our team can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
Santa Paula is a historic citrus community in the Santa Clara River Valley — a close-knit town where many multigenerational families have deep roots and where the personal nature of a hospice relationship matters deeply. Eternal Life Hospice provides care that honors that tradition: consistent, compassionate nursing visits, aide support, chaplaincy and social work, delivered at home or in whatever setting the family has chosen.
We also serve Fillmore, Ventura, Ojai and Camarillo, providing continuous care across the eastern Ventura County valley communities.
