    Description

    For as little as an hour or two month, volunteers can provide friendship and support to hospice patient in your community. Your volunteer service will fit your schedule and interests, and visit assignments are your choice. It could be as simple as sitting with a patient so the caregiver can run an errand, like grocery shopping, getting a hair cut, having lunch with friends, or activities such as

    • Reading, playing music, card games, or crafts
    • Listening to and documenting their memories for a life or memory journal.
    • Staying with patients to give family members a break to run errands or take care of their own needs.
    • Certified Pet Visitors for pet lovers.
    • Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours.
    • Bereavement and grief support of family

    Use your talents and passion for people to improve the quality of life for another.
