About Us
At Golden Gate Hospice Care, we are a dedicated hospice team in Los Angeles committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate care for patients and families facing life’s final stages.
We offer a full spectrum of hospice and palliative care services, including the professional support of nurses, caregivers, social workers, spiritual counselors, and end-of-life doulas — all working together to bring comfort, peace, and dignity to every moment.
Among our team, Mary Telliano stands out as an experienced end-of-life doula whose heartfelt work has touched many lives.
Through her presence, empathy, and gentle guidance, she has shown the deep value of emotional and spiritual support during life’s sacred transitions.
Inspired by her years of service, Mary founded The Anam Cara Academy, a learning space dedicated to educating and mentoring those who feel called to accompany others through end-of-life care with love, awareness, and compassion.
At Golden Gate Hospice Care, we honor this calling as part of our mission: to provide peace, presence, and holistic support to every soul in transition.

I CONTACTED THEM TO ASK FOR HELP FOR MY MOTHER. THEY WERE INCREDIBLY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE NOT ONLY WITH ME BUT ALSO WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY. THEY ADDRESSED ALL MY CONCERNS AND OFFERED MORE SUPPORT THAN ANY OTHER HOSPICE. EVERYONE WAS SO KIND; I FELT AS IF I WERE SPEAKING WITH AND BEING HELPED BY A FAMILY MEMBER. I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY RELATIVE OR FRIEND WHO MAY NEED THEIR HELP.

THEIR STAFF IS EXCELLENT. ROLLIE, ANA, AND DENNIS PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY SERVICE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL FOR THEIR PATIENTS. DR. SHAMSIAN IS VERY HELPFUL IN EXPLAINING WHAT HOSPICE CARE IS AND PROVIDING THE SUPPORT THAT FAMILIES NEED.
