About Us
Compassionate Care with Heart
Serving North County San Diego since 1980
Dedicated Professionals. Unwavering Compassion.
At Hospice of the North Coast, we may be compact in size, but our impact is anything but. Since 1980, we’ve been dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care to individuals facing the end-of-life journey — and to the families who walk beside them.
We combine expert clinical care, pain and symptom management, and holistic therapies that support body, mind, and spirit. With a low staff-to-patient ratio, our team is able to provide highly personalized care, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
