Hospice provides care to patients and families when the patient has a terminal illness and is expected to die within six months. This does not mean that all die in that time period, often patients stay on hospice for much longer.
The magical part of hospice is the way that it involves community members as volunteers. There are many different things that a volunteer may do with a patient. Sometimes it is sitting bedside and chatting, sometimes it is helping with light housekeeping and other times it is watching tv or listening to music. The opportunities are only limited by imagination!
We also have opportunities to volunteer in the office or do some sewing projects.
We require that you are a kind and compassionate person who wants to be a part of this amazing work. We will provide you with all the necessary training and support!
