    Description

    Volunteers provide companionship and socialization to our patients that request someone to visit once a week in an ongoing assignment. We play games, make puzzles, work with existing projects, provide a listening ear, and develop a relationship with the patient and family. Some patients are engaged in activities and some are unable, but enjoy the company of others. Please meet with me, to give Hospice Plus the consideration of your valuable time and energy to provide comfort and companionship to those who would enjoy it.
