In the past, family members, friends, and clergymen gathered around a dying patient to offer their presence and support. Many patients today don't have family members nearby to maintain vigil. Families and friends of dying loved ones often struggle to cope with the loss of a loved one when they feel overwhelmed or scared.

No one wants to die alone, and with dedicated hospice volunteers, like YOU, and death vigil programs, no one needs to.

In a death vigil, volunteers provide support and physical presence to patients and their families in times of need. Taking into account that the needs and wishes of dying patients and their loved ones differ, volunteers will tailor their approach to fit the specific needs and wants of each family. As part of the vigil process, all or any of the following may be included;

  • Being a calm presence
  • Sitting with the dying person and their family
  • Talking
  • Listening
  • Shared silence
  • Healing touch
  • Reading of inspirational text or scripture
  • Requested rituals
  • Inspirational music
  • Lighting candles

Vigil volunteers will be an on-call. Volunteers have the option to accept or decline volunteer assignment.

Currently volunteer locations- Burbank, Downey, Fontana, Los Angeles, Norwalk, Pasadena, and Riverside.

Mission Statement

Comfort Life Hospice values patient care and believes in the philosophy that end of life care should be carefree and painless.

Description

Our founders have been in the healthcare field for over a decade across various types of care, including assisted living communities, nursing homes, hospitals and home health.

We began Comfort Life Hospice because we want to manage all aspects of our patients’ healthcare journey, and we believe that by providing hospice, we can manage our patients’ health and well being from beginning to end. This means we truly know each patient and his/her individual needs so that we can ensure the most tailored and focused care.

Certified by The Joint Commission, we prioritize our patient and their family’s needs to create a comfortable environment that values the gift of life and the transitioning stage to what comes next.
