Hospice of the Valleys began in early 1982 by two sisters in Sun City, California who recognized the need for specialized end-of-life care for people in their community. In order to make this care available, these sisters received hospice training as volunteers and began going door-to-door raising money on their patients’ behalf. After years as a volunteer-run organization, Hospice of the Valleys eventually became a full-service, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Today, Hospice of the Valleys employs a team of experienced clinicians and administrative professionals, and continues to have a group of dedicated volunteers who touch the lives of our patients each and every day. After more than 30 years of caring for hospice patients living in Southwest Riverside County and Fallbrook, Hospice of the Valleys remains committed to the mission of its founders by providing loving hospice care to all who need it, regardless of their ability to pay. Hospice of the Valleys’ service area includes the communities of Aguanga, Canyon Lake, Fallbrook, Hemet, Homeland, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, Nuevo, Perris, Quail Valley, Romoland, San Jacinto, Sun City, Temecula, Wildomar and Winchester.
