Hospice Care at Home in Encino

If you have been considering Hospice Care for a loved one who is reaching the end of their life but are unsure of the benefits, read "In Hospice, Care and Comfort as Life Wanes" by Jane E. Brody in the New York Times.

This informative article details the compassionate care hospice service provides to patients and their families to help eliminate discomfort and minimize fear and strife.  A caring and professional hospice team help a dying patient live longer and with more comfort and grace than a patient in intensive care receives. 

Hospice Caregivers from A-1 Home Care work with the hospice team of nurses, doctors, spiritual counselors and bereavement counselors for the benefit of the patient and their family.  Family members of patients who have passed away refer to our Caregivers, Nurse Aides, Home Health Aides and Companions as blessings and angels sent by our agency.  Clients greatly value the warmth, compassion and skill Hospice Caregivers from A-1 Home Care bestow on their terminally ill loved one.

We have helped families living in Encino, Canoga Park, Tarzana, Thousand Oaks, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Northridge and other cities within Los Angeles County since 1991.  A-1 Home Care Agency is recognized as a leading in home care agency by hospitals and medical centers such as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Keck Hospital of USC and Huntington Memorial Hospital for our excellent at home patient care.
