Essence Hospice

Essence Hospice is a compassionate hospice and palliative care provider serving Irvine, California, and the surrounding communities. We offer a holistic approach to end-of-life care, focusing on providing comfort, dignity, and support to patients and their families. Our unique Essential Care Program (ECP) emphasizes control of pain and symptoms, allowing patients to remain independent and in familiar surroundings for as long as possible. Founded in 2016 and independently owned, Essence Hospice is committed to delivering personalized care rooted in a legacy of compassion, inspired by the care Aran Shelly’s grandfather received.

At Essence Hospice, we understand that facing a life-limiting illness is a profoundly challenging experience. Our dedicated team of professionals—including Executive Director Emily Davis, RN—works closely with patients and their families to create a care plan that addresses their individual needs and wishes.

Unlike many hospice organizations, Essence Hospice remains privately owned, allowing us to maintain our commitment to providing the highest level of personalized care, free from the pressures of private equity. We strive to create a peaceful and comforting environment, honoring the patient’s values and preferences every step of the way.

We are proud to offer a continuum of care that supports patients and their families through every stage of their journey, ensuring comfort, dignity, and peace of mind.
