    • Offering companionship by sitting, playing games, walking, or reading with a patient
    • Playing music, sharing your artistic talents or sitting beside someone
    • Watching tv, play instruments, have conversation

    Orientation Schedule and Visiting Schedule is flexible and will fit into your schedule.
