    Description

    Our nation’s veterans served with courage and pride. When faced with a terminal illness, it is our honor at Beford Hospice, NH to give back to them. That is why we are seeking Veterans like you to provide companionship to your fellow Veterans who are on hospice service.

    ·Companionship: Providing companionship and emotional support to ease feelings of isolation and loneliness.

    ·Caregiver Relief: Offering respite to primary caregivers, allowing them time to rest and recharge.

    ·Pinning Ceremonies: Honoring Veteran patients with heartfelt pinning ceremonies, recognizing their service and sacrifices, and creating cherished memories for families.
