Eternal Life Hospice provides physician-supported hospice care for eligible patients and families in West Hills 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 West Hills families with Medicare-certified, physician-supported hospice care — at home, in assisted-living communities and in skilled-nursing facilities throughout the West San Fernando Valley. Our team can begin a clinical evaluation the same day a referral is received.
West Hills is a quiet, family-oriented community at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, bordered by Chatsworth, Canoga Park and the hills above the 118 Freeway. Many seniors here live in established single-family homes and prefer to remain there for as long as possible. Eternal Life Hospice makes home-based hospice care a reality for West Hills families — with regular nursing visits, aide support, chaplaincy and social work provided on a schedule that fits the household's rhythm.
We also serve Chatsworth, Canoga Park, Woodland Hills, Calabasas and nearby Simi Valley, giving families at the western edge of LA County access to seamless cross-county coverage.
