Veteran to Veteran Volunteer Opportunities

Veteran to Veteran volunteering offers an opportunity to honor another individual who served!. Brighton hospice is looking for compassionate, dedicated veterans to volunteer their time and experience to support other veterans in need. Veterans will receive training and on-going education. Brighton has opportunities to provide one to one visits as well as opportunities to honor all those who served with recognition and pinning ceremonies. As a volunteer, you help fulfill the promise of hospice in many ways. You are the hand to help and to hold, the friendly face that brings warm conversation and welcome respite. Our trained volunteers provide invaluable services.

Volunteer tasks can be patient related or non-patient related. Some examples are:

• Visit with the patient wherever they live (e.g., at home, an assisted living or skilled nursing facility, or a group home)
• Visit with the patient to provide support and a listening ear
• Assist with letter writing or other projects
• Help write or record the patient’s life story
• Stay with the patient so their family can go out
• Read to the patient or join them in watching a favorite TV program
• Play games with the patient or family
• Sing or play music
• Give a manicure or hand massage
• Take the patient outside or for a walk
• Hold vigil for a patient during the dying process (requires additional training provided by Brighton)
