Description
Our hospice organization needs compassionate volunteers to provide friendly visits to our patients in Lewes. Being a hospice volunteer is simple, yet profoundly rewarding. There is no medical or personal care involved - just caring from the heart! Visits are based on your schedule and are always close to your home. You receive extensive support and training from our organization. YOU can make a difference by...
- Providing companionship (from simple conversations to exploring deep feelings)
- Reading aloud or listening to music together
- Looking at photos together and sharing memories (life review)
- Sitting with a patient so caregivers have free time (care giver relief)
- Journaling (helping the patient record their history)
- Watching movies or playing games
- Sharing a quiet moment
- Simply being present
