Cancer Hospice Care in Los Angeles

Trusted Cancer-Focused Hospice Care for Los Angeles Families

When cancer advances and the focus shifts from cure to comfort, your family deserves gentle, expert support. At Affinity Hospice LLC, we provide compassionate hospice care throughout Los Angeles—from the Westside and the San Fernando Valley to South LA and the San Gabriel Valley. Our team supports patients with advanced cancers, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, brain cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and more.

We work alongside families and their physicians (including care teams at local centers like Cedars-Sinai, UCLA Health, City of Hope, and Keck Medicine of USC) to ensure care that honors the patient’s goals and values.

How Hospice Helps with Advanced Cancer

• Pain & Symptom Relief: Evidence-based management for pain, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia.
• 24/7 Clinical Access: On-call nurse support for urgent concerns—day or night.
• Care Wherever You Live: At home, assisted living, or skilled nursing facilities across Los Angeles.
• Emotional & Spiritual Care: Social workers and chaplains for counseling, legacy work, and grief resources.
• Family Support: Education, respite options, and coordination that reduce stress for caregivers.
• Personalized Plans: Interdisciplinary team (nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains) aligned to your goals.

When Is Cancer Hospice Appropriate?

Hospice may be right when cancer-directed treatments are no longer helping or are no longer consistent with the patient’s wishes. Common signs include:

• Increasing pain, shortness of breath, or frequent ER visits
• Significant weight loss or fatigue
• Reduced ability to manage daily activities
• A preference for comfort-focused care at home
