"Our Caring Better" Philosophy
Established in 2014 in the city of Glendale, California, our "Caring Better"
Philosophy embodies our commitment that every hospice patient has the right to be pain-free, and to be treated with compassion and dignity. We focus on enhancing the patient's comfort and overall quality of life, and on attending to individual desires and needs. Our team of physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, therapists, aides and volunteers provide a holistic approach that sincerely addresses the physical, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of our patients, as well as those of their families and caregivers. Our staff makes regular visits to your home or any other setting to provide compassionate, comprehensive, competent and consistent care.

Experience our Top Quality Care
Patients and their loved ones are our top priority, focusing on people rather than the disease, underlining the importance of an open relationship with patients and their families, and ensuring utmost comfort and the best quality of life for all under extreme circumstances.
We offer a unique benefit when the family caregiver needs a rest so that the care continues during the caregiver's absence. This is known as respite care. This form of temporary, short-term assistance can help alleviate or avoid caregiver burnout and stress.
At CB Homecare Hospice, we take pride in serving the needs of our patients and their families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our caring team of highly-trained and skilled nurses are readily available to provide quality care that is focused on pain management, comfort, and peace of mind to patients and their families.
