Programs
Children and Youth Welfare Development
In Hospicio de San Jose, abandoned, surrendered, orphaned and neglected children — or those in difficult circumstances – are given the shelter and care they need while we submit documentary requirements for them to be considered legally-available for adoption by the DSWD.
Program for Persons with Special Needs
Persons with special needs – such as the physically and mentally challenged – have found a welcoming home in Hospicio de San Jose. They are categorized according to their level of functionality to ensure that they receive appropriate rehabilitation care.
Program for Older Persons
Especially in poor urban communities, many Filipinos are abandoned in their old age. Hospicio de San Jose has taken many of them under its protection, providing them a nurturing and supportive environment where medical and rehabilitative care, spiritual enrichment, psycho-social support and companionship are available to them.
Crisis Intervention Program – Sanctuary
