    Description

    Companionship Volunteers in Demand in the Howard Lake/Winsted Area

    What does it mean to become a companion to a hospice patient?

    It’s all about giving your attentive presence to another - you focus on your assigned patient to be a "companion". We’re looking for people with big hearts, who are good listeners. Our training is all online.

    You may offer companionship in facilities, provide respite to caregivers in homes, assist with writing/reading, share your musical talents, or answer other patient and family needs. Wherever they call home. You can also support from home by sending cards or making phone calls.

    At end of life your support is greatly appreciated by our staff and those we serve!

    Thank you for considering,

    Pamela Ainslie, Volunteer Coordinator
