Sunshine Haven provides high quality residential palliative care to the dying using nursing assistants and volunteers supervised by licensed personnel. We serve Cameron County, Hidalgo County and Willacy County. Between November 06, 2000 (first day of operation) and December May 30, 2020, we provided palliative care to over 1,400 terminally ill patients. Sunshine Haven Collaborates with local organizations and Hospices. We admit Hospice patients when 24 hr. residential care is needed. The Hospice agencies provide equipment and all necessary supplies to care for the patient, i.e. medications, equipment, nursing assessment and more... Our partnerships with each patient's hospice agency are vital to maintain the compassionate high quality care we provide.

For Sunshine Haven, Volunteers are extremely important because they serve as the backbone of our organization. With the wide range of opportunities, volunteers have the freedom to find what best suits their talents to help out Sunshine Haven.

Volunteers serve as a member of our team by sharing expertise and talents in a manner that provides comfort and enriches the quality of life for those served. Volunteers serve and provide the following: cook, clean, shop, yard work, give hospitality to families and loved ones of residents, public relations and fundraising, serve as board members. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please call (956) 350-8400 or come by our center.
