About this hospice
Circle Of Life Hospice is a for-profit hospice agency based in Burbank, California, serving Los Angeles County. It has been Medicare-certified since July 23, 2021, meaning it meets federal health and safety standards required to provide hospice care to Medicare beneficiaries.
CMS Care Compare publishes family caregiver survey results (CAHPS) and quality process measures for Medicare-certified hospices, but for this specific hospice, CMS has not published a CAHPS star rating, a percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, or a percentage rating the hospice 9-10. This is common for smaller hospices with limited patient counts and does not indicate poor quality — it simply means there is not yet enough survey data for CMS to report these figures publicly.
Similarly, CMS has not published a composite process measure score for this hospice, so no comparison to the California state average composite score of 93.41 is currently available.
According to CMS data, Circle Of Life Hospice serves a small area of 2 ZIP codes from its Burbank office. Families interested in whether their specific address falls within its service area should contact the hospice directly.
As with all Medicare-certified hospices, the Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients once a doctor certifies a terminal prognosis; no additional cost information is provided here. All figures above come from CMS Care Compare data.
