Sun Valley is a diverse, working-class neighborhood in the northeastern San Fernando Valley, adjacent to Pacoima, Arleta and North Hollywood. The neighborhood has a significant Latino and Armenian community, and many families here navigate end-of-life care for the first time. Eternal Life Hospice serves Sun Valley families with clear, compassionate guidance from the very first call — explaining eligibility, coverage and what the care process will look like before a single form is signed.
We also serve Pacoima, Arleta, North Hollywood, Sylmar and Van Nuys, covering the north and central valley comprehensively.
