Care for Cancer Patients
Cancer is one of the leading causes of hospice admissions, accounting for 36.6% of all hospice patients in the U.S. according to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). When cancer reaches an advanced stage, hospice care inevitably becomes a crucial resource for patients seeking comfort-focused, in-home care in Los Angeles, Orange County, and Ventura County. So Cal Premium Healthcare provides expert end-of-life care for individuals with terminal cancer, ensuring dignity, pain management, and emotional support for both patients and families.
