Zen Hospice Project is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1987, the organization employs 55 people and has provided services to over 31,000 individuals. Zen Hospice Project enhances the care experience for both patients and caregivers by incorporating mindfulness and compassion into their approach. They offer a range of services, including bedside care for those facing advanced illness and their loved ones, training and support for volunteer and professional caregivers, and educational programs. Their services are offered through their licensed residential care facility, the Guest House, and in collaboration with Laguna Honda Hospital, one of the largest public long-term care facilities in the United States.
