Our Mission
Our mission is to walk alongside patients and families through life's final chapter — with skilled medical care, gentle presence, and respect for the language, traditions, and choices that make each family who they are. We deliver every level of hospice care defined by Medicare, in the place each person calls home, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Values
Four commitments shape every visit, every conversation, every plan of care we write.
-
Compassion
We meet every patient and family where they are, with patience and gentleness. We listen first.
-
Dignity
We protect each person's right to be seen, heard, and treated with respect — at every visit, in every decision.
-
Cultural Humility
We listen to each family's language, faith, and traditions, and we let those guide care rather than impose our own.
-
Clinical Excellence
We hold ourselves to the federal Conditions of Participation — and to the higher bar of what families would want for their own.
A Brief Story
Founded in 2018, Eminent Hospice Care provides an individualized program of physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial care for people in the last phases of a life-limiting illness, with an emphasis on control of pain and other symptoms. Under the leadership of current owner Hanna Cha, our team works to alleviate as much pain, worry, and inconvenience as possible for patients and families facing serious illness — with a particular commitment to the Korean-American community of greater Los Angeles, whose families have long needed care delivered in their own language.
Service Area
We serve Los Angeles County, with patients and families across the region. Our team coordinates visits, on-call coverage, and medication delivery anywhere within our service area.

Care for Korean-American Families
에미넌트 호스피스 케어는 한국어로 진행되는 입원 상담, 한국어를 구사하는 케어 팀, 그리고 한인 가족의 전통과 신앙을 존중하는 케어를 제공합니다.
Hospice decisions are hard in any language. Doing them in your second language is harder. Eminent's bilingual team and Korean-American cultural awareness exist to make this easier.
- Intake, care-plan conversations, and on-call support available in English and Korean.
- Nearly all of our team members speak Korean — clinical, admissions, and on-call support — so families can have every conversation in their preferred language.
- We learn each family's traditions around illness, end of life, and remembrance — and let those guide care.
- Our chaplain coordinates with the family's own faith tradition; we do not impose one.
If you would like your first conversation to be in Korean, just say so when you call — we will route you to a Korean-speaking team member.
Your Care Team
Every patient is supported by an interdisciplinary team — a physician, registered nurse, licensed vocational nurse, medical social worker, chaplain, hospice aide, bereavement coordinator, and trained volunteers. Each role is described in detail on our Services page.

What Sets Us Apart
Specifics, not slogans.
- Medicare-certified and surveyed against the federal Conditions of Participation.
- Same-day admission when clinically appropriate — calls placed in the morning often have an RN at the home by evening.
- Pharmacy and durable medical equipment (DME) coordinated by our team — comfort medications and equipment arrive at the home, not at the family's errand list.
- A registered nurse answers our 24/7 on-call line at every hour.
- English and Korean intake, with cultural awareness woven into the care plan, not bolted on at the end.
