If you are looking for a rewarding volunteering opportunity, Cabrillo Hospice is seeking thoughtful, compassionate, and talented individuals to spend quality time with our hospice patients and provide support to their families.

Weekly assignments will vary but we request that you serve as a volunteer for a minimum of 1 year. Volunteers receive comprehensive training to understand the circumstances of a hospice patient and are equipped with practical and emotional tools to feel confident in providing support and companionship to patients and their loved ones.

We are seeking hospice volunteers all over San Diego County for a variety of opportunities!

  • To make home-based patient visits - wherever the patients call home (private residences and long term care facilities)
  • Opportunities to practice empathetic language and compassionate listening
  • A fascinating education about end-of-life issues and goals
  • To provide practical and emotional support to families and hospice patients
  • To gain new friendships and connections

About Cabrillo Hospice

Location:

Mission Statement

Cabrillo Hospice was created to serve; it’s as simple as that. We exist to be more than just health care. We believe that fostering a relationship with each patient and family, which is reflective of their life’s journey, is the key to not only the best care but actively creates the platform for the Cabrillo team to be the most impactful. Creating a culture in an organization that is driven by more than just bottom-line results, we focus on our professionals, structuring a pathway of development for each of them. Simply put, we choose to invest in our most precious resource, the Cabrillo team. There is room in our world for better care and better relationships. We believe we can change the world, and through service, that is exactly what we aim to do.

Description

We simply believe, based on our own experiences with hospice, that we can deliver a superior model of care driven by what people desire most often-more care in the home. In creating a model of care driven by experience and not revenue, we are leading the movement of returning hospice care from big business to its roots founded in community health care. In doing this, Cabrillo is able to deliver world-class service to those we serve; we call this "The Cabrillo Commitment."
