Services

Hospice of San Joaquin provides compassionate, individualized care to ensure comfort, dignity, and a peaceful end of life. Services include medical care, pain and symptom management, social, emotional, and spiritual support for patients of all ages, including pediatric care. Each patient receives a personalized plan of care, with visits provided as needed and a hospice nurse available 24 hours a day.

Support services include respite care, practical assistance, counseling, spiritual care, and grief support for families and caregivers, as well as:

• Hospice House, a comfortable "Home" when you need it most - is the first and only residential campus for hospice patients in San Joaquin County. This comfortable house offers an alternative to home based-hospice care when patients are no longer able to remain in their own home.
• Transitions Program is a community service program designed to provide palliative education, emotional support and community resource information to participants with life-limiting or advancing chronic life-limiting illnesses.
• The Bereavement Program supports grieving families and friends, including bereavement support groups for both adults and children. Hospice of San Joaquin also provides Community Education on end-of-life issues, and an intensive Volunteer Training course (up to 30 hours) preceding volunteer assignment to Patient Care or Bereavement Team. Please call for information regarding Patient Care, Bereavement Services, Community Education or Volunteer Training.
