As a Veteran Direct Care Volunteer you would serve as an additional support to patients and families dealing with a terminal illness and end-of-life issues. Support is provided in a variety of ways, including the provision of companionship and socialization to our veteran patients, or offering respite to stressed caregivers. Veteran Direct Care Volunteers may also make tuck in calls to Veteran patients and families. All care provided by the Direct Care Volunteer is outlined in the Volunteer Care Plan and agreed upon by the Interdisciplinary Group (IDG).
