Intentional Volunteering brings your best to the area of need. At Compassus Hospice we believe in helping
patients and their families live their best life for their whole life.
Many times a volunteer brings relief to a family situation just be being compassionate and being there. Often times a patient does not need more than someone engaging with them verbally, reassuring them they are not alone, reading a book out loud or even playing music for them from Youtube off their phone. Youtube has great era style music from the early 1900's, the big band sound, specific singers that many of our patients love to hear and don't get the chance to.
We provide an intentional visit, with pre planned ideas, activities, or simple ideas for volunteering. Talents and skills need not be that elaborate. But volunteering intentionally....that is what makes the difference.
Saying something or doing something for someone, that is what brings purpose to a patients life and that is what we are asking people to bring to the table as a volunteer!~
Training/orientation
a 2 step TB test which is what Hospice and Medical services are needing
Background check
Drivers license (so that you are legally able to drive to a patients place of living)

And we will also take into account the location you would prefer to volunteer is.
We realize California is a big place and our Hospice services a wide area, so we want
to consider what will work for you, and your time frame.

Mission Statement
OUR MISSION: Compassus Hospice is committed to keeping The Hospice Promise by delivering the highest quality of care, serving the needs of patients and families and spreading the stories of hospice to those with whom they come into contact.
Description
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
Compassus recognizes death as a natural part of the life cycle, and promotes pain relief and symptom management as appropriate clinical goals.
Compassus affirms life and provides hospice interventions that will seek neither to hasten death nor to postpone it.
Compassus understands that psychosocial and spiritual pain is often as significant as physical pain, and that addressing all three requires the skills of an interdisciplinary team.
Compassus believes that patients and loved ones are an integral part of our Plan of Care.
