Description
Peaceful Hearts Hospice has a particular need for volunteers who can serve our patients residing in the Blair area as:
- Companion Volunteers - meet with patients on a regular basis (usually weekly) for about an hour per visit. These can take place in the patients own home or in any number of long-term care facilities around the metro area. These visits vary as much as people do - you could be socializing, chatting, playing games, watching tv, going on walks, etc or simply sitting at bedside
- Peaceful Presence - this volunteering is in the final hours to days of the patient's life. Your purpose is to set a peaceful environment, play music, read soothing readings, etc AND paying attention to any signs of discomfort and getting the attention of the facility nurse. This volunteer goes on a list of willing volunteers that the Volunteer Coordinator reaches out to as a need arises and see if it works in your schedule at the time.
