Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in Sylmar 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 Sylmar families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in board-and-care homes and in skilled-nursing facilities throughout the North San Fernando Valley. Our team can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
Sylmar is the northernmost neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley, a semi-rural community of single-family homes, equestrian properties and small farms. Its proximity to the Foothill communities and the Santa Clarita Valley makes it a natural crossroads for families navigating care across northern Los Angeles County. Eternal Life Hospice serves Sylmar families at home or in nearby care settings, providing full hospice services with the consistency and personal attention that a smaller community like Sylmar deserves.
We also serve Mission Hills, Pacoima, Granada Hills, San Fernando and the Santa Clarita Valley, covering the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley and nearby communities.
