    Description

    Be a Companion to a Patient on Hospice!

    With one hour a week, you can change a life.

    Bristol Hospice provides end of life care, and volunteers are a valued and integral part of our team to provide support for our patients.

    What do volunteers do? Options are plenty! Most often, volunteers will spend one hour a week visiting with a patient on hospice. Our volunteer coordinator will work with you to align your preferences to our numerous volunteer opportunities.

    Some examples of typical volunteer duties include:

    • Provide companionship for a patient, visiting with them wherever they call home.
    • Run errands or do light household tasks.
    • Help a patient record memories or complete special projects.
    • Play music, read aloud, enjoy a sunny day, or watch a movie.
    • Be a comforting and supportive presence during the final weeks, days, and hours of life.
    • Provide respite time for the patient's caregivers.
    • Offer special support to Veteran patients.
    • Assist hospice staff in various ways at the office or in the community.

    What you can expect: Your volunteer time is flexible and valued! When you're part of the Bristol Volunteer Team, you receive training, support, a network of fellow volunteers and staff, and the knowledge that you have comforted someone on their final journey.

    If this sounds like what you're looking for, get in touch! We can't wait to meet you.
