Compassionate Heart and Hands

While being a Spanish speaking hospice volunteer at Sutter Care at Home Hospice, the greatest gift you can offer is your time, your compassionate, caring nature, and your willingness to listen. No experience necessary. We provide training.

Volunteering can be as simple as sitting by the bedside, socializing, listening with compassion, playing music, reading a book, and providing a break for the family members and caregivers. Volunteers do not provide clinical or personal care.

We usually ask for 1-2 volunteer hours per week (this includes driving), and work with patients and families to accommodate visits that also work for our volunteer's schedule.

Volunteers visit hospice patients in homes and care facilities in San Mateo county, from South San Francisco to Palo Alto and along the coast, based on volunteer location and availability.

No prior hospice experience is required. A very comprehensive training and ongoing support are provided to all volunteers to enhance the overall goal of meeting the physical, emotional, and practical needs of hospice patients and their families.

Besides volunteers that speak other languages, we also welcome certified professionals who wish to provide reiki/ massage/art/music/animal therapy.
