Southern California Hospice Foundation

Angel Assistance Program

Through our Angel Assistance Program, we provide services that typically are not covered by medical insurances, Medicare or MediCal; needs that are largely overlooked in today’s healthcare system. Sometimes, these services are as simple providing transportation. Sometimes, they are as complex as arranging for a child to meet their Hollywood hero before they die. All are equally important and all speak to the compassion and dignity we seek to provide. Ultimately, our goal is to award patients and their families’ meaningful moments that will last a lifetime.

Bereavement Support

We understand that the death of someone close to you can shatter your world. We host frequent virtual and in-person workshops, free of charge, in order to promote self-care and healing led by certified bereavement counselors.   

Heavenly Home

Opened in February 2023, the Heavenly Home is the first-of-its-kind residential, end-of-life care home in Orange County. Providing physical and spiritual support in a home-like setting, the Heavenly Home will offer facilities and caregiving to those facing their final journey, giving families the freedom to focus on the things that matter most.

Community Outreach Program

The number one comment we hear from the patients and families we serve is, “I wish I would have known about hospice sooner.” While hospice is intended to support patients during the last six months of life, most people only receive the benefit of hospice just for a few short weeks. Through our community outreach program, we are working to change that.  Each year, we strive to connect with the individuals in our community who are suffering from a catastrophic illness. We’ve developed programs designed to familiarize the broader community with the resources that are available to them when the need for hospice care arises. We work to educate those around us through printed materials, seminars and community involvement. Additionally, we work very closely with various media outlets that look to us for input on the changing landscape of hospice care in our community. 

We Honor Vets

The "We Honor Vets" program is designed to meet the unique needs of terminally ill Veterans and their families by training the medical community on the challenges that Veterans may face at the end-of-life. Things like stoicism, fear of admitting pain as a sign of weakness, and the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This program also facilitates pinning ceremonies for patients who served our country by giving them a certificate and lapel pin, as recognition for their sacrifices made to our country.
