Maitri Compassionate Care operates a licensed Residential Care Facility for the Chronically Ill in San Francisco, providing 24-hour and hospice-style support for people living with AIDS. The facility offers single-occupancy rooms and a holistic care model that includes access to nurses, attendants, social workers, physicians, psychiatrists, spiritual support, and volunteer-assisted emotional and practical help. Services emphasize a healing, home-like environment with activities such as art therapy, meditation, and bodywork, along with home-cooked meals tailored to individual dietary needs. The organization focuses on serving underserved AIDS patients, with the majority of its beds reserved for low-income individuals and a significant share of non-institutional hospice capacity in the city, reflecting its role within California’s AIDS-focused residential care landscape. Based in San Francisco and established in 1987, Maitri has become a reference point for residential care in this niche, maintaining a continuous waiting list and engaging in international exchange by hosting health officials from several countries. Volunteers play a key role in service delivery, and most of the annual operating expenses are directed toward direct care rather than administration or fundraising.
