Cypress is a quiet residential community in northwest Orange County, bordered by Buena Park, Stanton, Garden Grove, and Los Alamitos. The city is predominantly residential with mid-century single-family neighborhoods, Cypress College as its civic anchor, and the Los Alamitos Race Course just across the border. Most of our Cypress responses are residence calls or transfers from Los Alamitos Medical Center.

When hospice is involved, the process is significantly simpler:
