We recognize death as a natural and personal event. In this spirit, we support the community in working with those near the end of life and the people who love them by providing in-home support, caregiver respite, grief counseling, support groups, community response, and education.

Founded in 1977, Hospice SLO County is a non-medical volunteer hospice and grief support organization providing services at no cost to residents of San Luis Obispo County. Guided by the belief that no one should face life’s final chapters—or the grief that follows—alone, Hospice SLO County offers in-home support, caregiver respite, grief counseling, support groups, and community education. As one of only 14 remaining volunteer hospices in the United States, our mission is sustained entirely through community donations, grants, and volunteer service.
