As a Hospice Family Relief Companion, you would provide relief to the care giver of the hospice patient so they can run an errand, take the other parent to a doctors appt, etc. This will be a flexible and inconsistent timing. However, you will know ahead of time.
Ex: a caregiver needs to take their other parent to a doctors appt in another town on March 20. Travel and total time gone would be about 12-3. Family will inform me, the volunteer coordinator, and I will see if you are free this date/time. You could do the whole duration or just an hour, whatever works best for you.
You will be placed as close to your geographical location as possible, however patient needs and locations vary.
