Care, Comfort, Compassion with Sanctuary HospiceAt Sanctuary Hospice, our focus is not on when life ends, but the quality of life for the time that is left. That means providing the best care possible for patients, ensuring comfort and giving peace of mind to the patient and family. Our team works together with the patient and family to create a specific plan of care. We address the patient’s medical, emotional and spiritual needs and create a plan based on their unique circumstances. Our main focus is quality-of-life. While it’s true no one can predict the number of final steps in life’s journey, Sanctuary Hospice is committed to being there to preserve the dignity of a life rich with meaning. Sanctuary Hospice is a not-for-profit organization that focuses on specialized support and services for those with a life limiting disease process. We are not a place, we are a philosophy of care. You do not need to leave your place of residence or relocate to a new environment. Our support extends throughout Orange County, San Diego county, and Los Angeles county. Sanctuary hospice provides support to individuals and families to keep patients in the comfort and security of their homes. We bill for our services through your insurance provider. We can accept most private insurances, Medi-Cal, and Medicare. Recently, we were awarded CHAPs accreditation. It is a special award that shows a higher level of excellence above and beyond the standard hospice requirements. Our team consists of physicians, nurses, social workers, home health aides, chaplains, bereavement coordinators, dieticians, patient advocates, and most importantly, volunteers.
Our patients often inspire us with their strength and courage. “Every patient and their loved ones I meet with inspire me with their strength, courage and love they have for one another. I am humbled to meet with these families to help support them… each story is unforgettable.” Brittany Wareh-Patient Advocate
Our support goes beyond our patients. “Dear Sanctuary family, God bless you all. You all showed our mother so much love, compassion, kindness, gentleness and care when she was here. (She) passed away in her sleep in God’s peace. She enjoyed the presence of every nurse, health aid, nurse practitioner, social worker and Chaplin.” - daughter of a Sanctuary Hospice patient
Sanctuary Hospice is owned by Sotto International, a 500(c)3 not for profit. We devote a percentage of our revenues to socially responsible charitable programs. The programs include education, business development, the water crisis, women’s health initiatives, child trafficking, medical missions, and general missions.
