    Description

    Companionship for Vet to Vet

    Caregivers (family members taking care of family living at home) often forget to take care of themselves. As a Bristol Hospice Volunteer, you will able to relieve some of their stress and give them time to take care of themselves. Times and dates are flexible but usually 2-4 hours per visit are needed for Caregivers to go to doctors appointments, run errands or go see a grandchild play soccer; we never know. We ask all our volunteers for 4 hours a month so this could be one or two visits a month. You will be sitting with the patient and reading to them, listen to music, go for a walk, make them a meal etc.

    JOIN our amazing TEAM: Bristol Hospice is an innovator of care in our community and we recently had a surprise survey from Colorado State in which we passed with 0 - zero - deficiencies. This means we got an A+ in all our treatment and care of our patients and we were voted Best Places To Work by the Gazette for 2022!
