Comfort Life Hospice offers volunteer companions to all the patients that we serve. Our elderly often battle loneliness, depression & anxiety, especially when their children may have moved away. Spouses and friends may themselves be too frail to visit.

We currently have facilities and patients in the following locations: Downey, Norwalk, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Burbank, Riverside, Fontana

Do you have an hour a week to hear some of the greatest stories you will ever hear? Are you ready to hold the hand of someone who needs a comforting touch?

Volunteers engage in conversations with patients, play music, watch movies, play games, or simply offer their supportive presence. You are a vital part of the social & emotional support provided through our hospice care.

We would love to have you join our team. You will be equipped & trained for this unique opportunity. You can even consider having your friends and family join our team as well. We are always better together!! This extra care of compassion makes a huge impact in the lives of our aging & vulerable community. Contact us today to start making a difference!

Patient Care Volunteers- Provide emotional support and practical assistance that enhances the comfort and quality of life for patients and family/caregivers. These services include being available for companionship, listening, simply "being there."

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.
