Direct Patient Care Opportunities
In the Home: Companion Care Volunteers are assigned to patients and their families - they may be a friendly visitor who helps the patient and caregiver with a variety of tasks, including sitting with the patient or participating in activities geared to the patient’s interest.
In Nursing Homes: Ideal for those volunteers with flexible schedules. Visits are usually of shorter duration and companionship is the primary purpose of the visit - reading, praying, holding a hand, etc.

Our Mission is to provide quality of life care services and bring choices to the patients we serve. Our comprehensive caring approach is unique, providing a specific plan of care that meets the particular family’s spiritual and emotional needs.
We provide pain management and appropriate palliative care when curative medical treatments no longer enhance quality of life. During periods of crisis, we provide additional services to allow the patient to remain at home. OCSF provides medical management to alleviate symptoms related to the primary illness. Each patient receives the medical equipment and supplies necessary to enhance overall comfort and safety (hospital Beds, Bedside Commode, Over bed table, Oxygen, Dressing Supplies). Medicare and Medicaid cover 100% of OCSF services under an all-inclusive rate with no out of pocket costs to the patient or family. Any service not related to the primary illness will be covered by your regular Medicare/Medicaid.
