    Description

    Southerncare Hospice cares for patients and families in facilities and also in their homes. The Caregivers for home patients are often spouses or other family members who need a caregiver relieve-for appointments, errands, to go out to lunch, or just some well deserved break or personal time. It's for those times that Southerncare offers volunteers for "caregiver relieve" and a caring volunteer visits the patient to share time while the caregiver is away.

    • Volunteers provide comfort and also support to the patient as well as the caregivea two for one bonus of gratitude!! Consider spending some time with a patient, giving the caregiver the assurance that his/her loved one is being cared for while she/he enjoys some "whatever" time to refresh, renew and enjoy the day or time being away.

    Volunteer orientations are offered here at our Akron Southerncare office. Please call 3309201909 or feel free to email me at any time.

    We of course invite you to join our team of exceptional volunteers!!!
