    Description

    Respite Volunteer

    Respite Volunteer

    Come to the rescue of a hospice patient family in need of a much-needed break. As a

    Respite Volunteer, you will offer the gift of time to family members who face the challenge

    of daily caregiving. You will sit with patients and allow caregivers the chance to take a

    break, run errands, take a nap, etc. A respite stay with a hospice patient typically will

    typically last, but not exceed, 2-4 hours.

    Here at Optimal Care, we want to support family members who may be struggling during a

    stressful and strenuous time in their lives. By giving the gift of time, you will make a special

    impact for those facing life's final journey. If you are a good listener, non-judgmental,

    adaptable, and have a strong desire to support a hospice patient's family, become a

    Respite Volunteer today!

    For more information, please call us at (800) 490-1742 or email volunteer@optimal.care
