    Description

    Veteran-to Veteran visitor. Ongoing in NWA

    Like military service, hospice care is a team effort. You are invited to join out team!

    We pair veteran hospice patients with veteran volunteers. Since they share common military experiences, our volunteers have a unique ability to relate and connect with fellow veterans - providing patients with the compassionate support and service they have earned and deserve.

    A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE

    Veteran volunteers help provide both direct and indirect patient support. Examples include:

    • Sitting, reminiscing, or reading with patients
    • Writing letters
    • Watching television/sports or listening to music
    • Taking part in veteran recognition ceremonies
    • Light house or yard work
    • Dog walking
    • Assistance in replacing lost military awards
    • Providing check-in calls

    We are end-of-life care experts and proud 5 Start partners of the "We Honor Veterans" program. Our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program provides volunteers with the training needed to support military service veterans and their families with in-home hospice care.

    If you want to make a big difference in the life of a hospice veteran, please call us today.
