Silverado

Silverado Hospice is seeking compassionate volunteers to join our team. Our patients are terminally ill and in their final stages of life. As a hospice volunteer, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients in the Rancho Palos Verdes area.

Volunteers provide companionship and comfort by:

  • Reading the newspaper or a book to the patient
  • Sharing hobbies or interests
  • Playing or listening to soothing music
  • Talking and sharing stories
  • Listening to their life experiences
  • Bringing flowers from a garden
  • Sharing photographs
  • Simply sitting quietly and offering the gift of presence

If you’re looking for a fulfilling way to give back and make a positive impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Mission Statement

It is our mission to affirm the cycle of life by enhancing the quality of living for those at the end of life. The Silverado standard is to care compassionately for patients and families and to empower those we serve to have quality of life options that afford them comfort and dignity.

Description

Silverado Hospice honors the value of each life by empowering the patient and family to make supported choices in end-of-life care, enhancing comfort, relieving suffering and supporting effective grieving. We believe that Hospice patients have the right to continue life to the fullest extent possible according to their circumstances, and in fostering opportunities for growth and fulfillment. We further recognize patients and families decision-making rights in relation to continuing medical treatments and their right to withdraw treatment whose benefits are outweighed by their burdens. Silverado believes in equal opportunity and non-discrimination for our clients, our associates, and our community.
