    Description

    Provide companionship for Sussex County nursing home residents!

    YOU can make a difference for our patients that are nursing home residents in Sussex County. Our hospice organization is seeking volunteers who want to help those with life limiting illness by providing comfort, support, care and compassion. Being a hospice volunteer is simple, yet profoundly rewarding. There is no medical or personal care involved - just caring from the heart! Visits are based on your schedule and are always close to your home. You receive extensive support and training from us and join a network of caring and committed volunteers. YOU can be that difference by...

    • Providing companionship (from simple conversations to exploring deep feelings)
    • Reading aloud or listening to music together
    • Looking at photos together and sharing memories (life review)
    • Journaling (helping the patient record their history)
    • Watching movies or playing games
    • Sharing a quiet moment
    • Simply being present

    Contact us today to learn more about this life-changing opportunity. Contact Rebekah Welch, Volunteer Coordinator, at 302-533-3800 or rebekahwelch@accentcare.com
