Welcome los Angeles Hospice, inc.
Hospice is not a place;
it is a concept of care for those who have life-limiting illnesses. Even when medicine cannot provide a
cure, it can offer comfort, care, and assistance that help maintain a better
quality of life for the patient.
This type of attention called palliative care, involves the aggressive treatment
of physical and emotional pain and symptoms.
It focuses on enhancing a patient’s comfort and improving that person’s
quality of life.
Hospice affirms life
and neither hastens nor postpones the end of life. It is predicated on the belief that
through sensitivity, appropriate care, and the support of a caring community
terminally ill patients and their families can begin to prepare, mentally, and
spiritually, to face the inevitable challenges ahead.
Centuries ago, a hospice was a shelter for travelers. Over the years, it evolved into a
refuge where people could find care, comfort and support during difficult times
in their journey through life.
It is to help with this journey that LOS ANGELES HOSPICE has been founded to
assist patients and families who are coping with terminal illnesses.
