    Description

    The benefits of music are many. Not only does it elevate mood, it reduces stress, depression and pain. It can transport one to a happier, more tranquil place. If you are a musician and have an hour or two to spare per week in service to others, playing music for Sutter Care at Home hospice patients would be a rewarding endeavor. Your visits to our patients would bring happiness and help them on their journey. Please note all volunteers must be 18 years of age to visit patients.

    To become a hospice volunteer at Sutter Care at Home Saratoga, the greatest gift one can offer is their time, caring nature and willingness to be present. Training and ongoing support are provided to all volunteers, so experience is not required. Volunteers are trained to enhance the overall goal of meeting the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs of hospice patients and their families.

    Our requirements: Volunteers take part in an enriching self-paced, online training program that can be done at home, plus we offer ongoing support to existing volunteers.
