    Description

    Hospice East Bay offers extensive training for volunteers who are interested in supporting patients and families in Alameda, Berkeley, Castro Valley, Oakland and San Leandro.

    Patient Support Volunteers provide valuable support services to hospice patients and their families in their home or a facility. They provide a wide range of practical assistance -- companionship for patients which might include reading, bedside sitting, shared hobbies, card or table games and respite time for caregivers. They are good listeners who are empathetic and nonjudgmental with respect to the beliefs and attitudes of others.
