Compassionate Support at Home with Advent Hospice Care

Facing a serious illness doesn’t mean facing it alone. At Advent Hospice Care, we bring professional palliative care directly to your home — where comfort, dignity, and peace of mind matter most. Our Los Angeles team helps manage symptoms, support families, and improve quality of life at every stage of illness.

What Is Palliative Home Care?

Palliative care is specialized medical support that focuses on relief from pain, stress, and other symptoms of serious illness. Unlike hospice care, it can begin early — alongside ongoing treatments — and is available to people of all ages and diagnoses.

Palliative home care means you or your loved one can receive this support in the comfort of your own home. It combines medical expertise with emotional, spiritual, and practical guidance — tailored to your unique needs.
