Description
Provide support to hospice patients and their caregivers in the home. Volunteers are assigned for weekly visits which typically last up to 3 hours. These visits allow the caregiver to run errands, make appointments, and tend to their own wellbeing. Volunteers provide a compassionate, listening ear for life review and storytelling. They also are there as a calming presence while patients are asleep. If you enjoy meeting new people and are comfortable in a variety of situations, this is a great opportunity for you to serve others!
