    Description

    Hospice Volunteers

    Do you have a heart for helping others and a little time to spare? If so, our patients and families/caregivers could use a compassionate friend.

    • Patient/Family Support Volunteers provide in-home respite care, which allows caregivers a few hours of much needed personal time. Talk, listen to music, watch TV, read or just be there to listen and hold a hand.
    • Companionship Volunteers spend time visiting with our patients in nursing and assisted living facilities who don't have family or friends visiting them.
