Hospice Care of California is a Hospice Organization that cares for the terminally ill while allowing them to stay in their own homes. We are looking for kind and compassionate people to fulfill many roles within our organization. Our biggest needs are:
*Volunteers to go into patients homes and provide socialization to isolated patients, or respite for burnt out caregivers.
*Volunteers with administrative skills to serve people at the end of life by completing office tasks that allow staff members to give their time elsewhere.
*Other miscellaneus opportunities to use specific skills.
*Veterans to visit Veterans who are on our service through our Vet-to-Vet program.
We hope that you will consider joining our team so that we can work together to serve those at the end of their lives.

Mission Statement
Hospice Care of California affirms life. We have a strong belief in the intrinsic dignity of each person, leading us to provide hospice care for the whole person--body, mind and spirit. Our mission is to provide quality medical and social services to the terminally ill and their families, focusing on support and caring in a time of need. We desire to walk beside patients and families, as they remain decision-makers about their own lives. We emphasize quality of life, as defined by each individual, when quantity of days has become limited. Important practical steps include symptom management, family education, and clear communication between patient, family, and hospice team. Although few feel totally prepared for death, our goal at Hospice Care of California is to help you prepare for the dying process, so that you can feel empowered and peaceful even during a very difficult time.
