Thank you for considering volunteering with Enhabit Health – Hospice! Do you have a knack for Arts & Crafts and love people? We are looking for Volunteers who would like to do Arts & Crafts Hospice Patients in Marshall, County Alabama

Arts & Crafts are beneficial to hospice patients. These activities enhance memory and attention span, which is particularly beneficial for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s. They enhance emotional well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, boosting self-esteem, and socialization.

Whatever your special talent or skill is, you can share that gift with others. Things like painting & drawing, sculpting, collage, crafting, card making, paint-by-numbers, crafts & sensory projects, clay modeling, jewelry making, rock painting, decoupage, pot painting, seasonal crafts, memory jars/boxes, storytelling journals would make a major difference in someone’s life at the end of their life.
