Community Care & Hospice is a community supported organization providing comprehensive hospice services for those individuals with a serious illness.
Several clinical studies have demonstrated the benefit hospice care can have for patients diagnosed with dementia, cardiopulmonary disease, kidney disease, cancer and other terminal diagnoses.
Community Care & Hospice team members collaborate with patients, families, caregivers, referral sources and other healthcare professionals to provide holistic support for patients throughout Ventura and Greater Los Angeles in any setting (i.e. residential home, nursing facility, group home, hospitals, in-patient units or a patient’s private home). We are always available to answer any questions.
