Family-owned, 24/7 response. Real people answering the phone. Serving Woodland Hills with established hospital coordination and local response times.
Woodland Hills sits at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley — one of the Valley's larger residential communities, with sprawling single-family neighborhoods north and south of Ventura Boulevard, the Warner Center commercial corridor at its heart, and the Santa Monica Mountains along its southern border. Our calls here come from across the full range: residences in the quieter south-of-Ventura pockets, the senior living communities along Victory and Topanga, and hospital transfers from West Hills Hospital and Kaiser Woodland Hills.
Woodland Hills is one of the Valley's most Jewish neighborhoods, with a strong Russian American and Persian American presence as well. Our counselors coordinate across these traditions with Spanish language support in-house and Russian, Hebrew, or Farsi referral available. Response from Woodland Hills is 2–2.5 hours typical; the 101 is the main artery and gets backed up during rush hour.
We coordinate directly with the hospitals most often serving Woodland Hills families — care management, social work, and decedent affairs. Established relationships mean faster release when the time comes.

We regularly work with care facilities, skilled nursing homes, and assisted living communities across Woodland Hills. When a passing occurs, we coordinate directly with facility staff to streamline the process for your family.
The process depends on where the passing takes place. Here's what to do in each situation.
The hospital's care team pronounces death and notifies their decedent affairs team. You'll designate a cremation provider — that's when you call us.
When death occurs at home and hospice is not involved, an authorized responder needs to pronounce death before we can bring your loved one into care. This is required by California law.
When hospice is involved, the process is significantly simpler:
Some deaths — particularly sudden or unexplained ones — are reviewed by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner at 1104 N. Mission Rd. in Boyle Heights.
