Volunteers Make a Difference with the Hospice Patient

Patient care volunteers provide personal care or emotional support and practical assistance, which enhance the comfort and quality of life for patients and families/caregivers. These services include being available for companionship, listening, simply "being there," and preparing meals. Patient care volunteers may also provide relief for caregivers or assist them with household chores.

Office volunteerslend their services working in hospice's administrative offices. These activities may include assembling information packets, filing, photocopying, and assisting with mailings.

Volunteers are an integral member of the hospice team, providing companionship, support and a friendly smile.

Together, we can make a difference in the care of the hospice patient.
