Hospice Torrance Near Me

4worldlovers: At Torrance Memorial Hospice, we provide a framework of care that offers comfort and support for patients, families and caregivers as a loved one nears the end of life's journey.

During the course of certain illnesses, when the patient, doctor and family decide that aggressive curative treatment is no longer appropriate, hospice strives to optimize the quality of life and bring comfort and support. Hospice care offers patients and families greater control over end-of-life decisions.

Hospice respects the independence, dignity, and personal choices of the patient by focusing on the unique and specific needs of each patient and family. Through the coordination of service provided by the hospice team, our patients can live in comfort at home. Hospice encourages and promotes the participation of the patient and family in establishing their plan of care, allowing them to pass with dignity. We also coordinate hospice care with other programs at Torrance Memorial, including home health and palliative care services.

Founded in 1983, Torrance Memorial's Hospice program is licensed by the State of California, Medicare and Medi-Cal certified, and accredited by the Joint Commission. We have received top honors in nursing excellence, receiving the distinction of Magnet Status.

We are a community-based organization serving residents of the South Bay. Limiting our service area allows our team of caregivers to spend quality, caring time with patients and families. Torrance Memorial Hospice is also a member of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.

The following services must be authorized by your Hospice team and are optional for Hospice patients:

A medical director and a team of physicians who oversee the plan of care

Regular visits by registered hospice nurses with special training in pain and symptom management

Physical, occupational and speech therapists for safety in mobility and energy conservation
