    Description

    Make an important difference by sharing your time with a patient receiving hospice or palliative care.

    Provide an hour/week to help with a patient where they live: a residential home, an apartment or a room at an assisted living or memory care facility.

    OR

    Share 2-4hrs/ week to provide respite for a hospice patient's primary caregiver (their partner, son, daughter, friend) so they have a peace of mind, knowing their loved one has company. Respite enables caregivers the ability to leave their home for an appointment, to run errands or to take a break. Your support helps the caregivers reset and offer better care to their loved ones. You companion the hospice patient while their caregiver is gone but are not responsible or permitted to provide personal care.

    • No experience working with hospice and palliative patients is required, just a compassionate and teachable heart.
    • A thorough and interesting training is provided.
    • Once trained, volunteers will have access to opportunities and choose the patient assignment that works best for them.
