YoloCares is a non-profit, community-based organization. It was run by volunteers until becoming Medicare and Medi-Cal certified in 1995. Since then, YoloCares has developed a highly trained interdisciplinary team including a physician, a nurse practitioner, an all-RN nursing staff, Masters-trained Social Workers, Spiritual Care Counselors, Certified Nursing Assistants, Bereavement Specialist, and a large base of volunteers specially trained in end of life care. All these experts work together to develop an individualized care plan for each patient, focusing on the whole person and their family’s needs.
YoloCares remains true to our goal of providing expert and compassionate hospice care, bereavement support and public education about end-of-life issues for all people in our culturally diverse community. YoloCares cares for all individuals in our service areas who qualify for hospice care, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender. YoloCares has never denied a patient who needed care, including those without financial resources or health care coverage.
Outreach & Event Volunteers work with our Volunteer Manager, in order to schedule themselves for shifts, help prepare for events, make deliveries, man a booth at an outreach event in the community, or so much more! They are ambassadors for YoloCares and speak to our mission, volunteer opportunities, and other programs provided by YoloCares.
