    Description

    Share Simple Joys with Hospice Patients

    Sometimes the smallest activities bring the greatest comfort. Compassus Hospice is seeking volunteers to spend time with patients enjoying simple pleasures such as playing cards, working puzzles, coloring, listening to music, or looking through photos together.

    These visits offer companionship, spark memories, and remind patients and families that they are not alone. No special skills are required - just your time, kindness, and willingness to be present.
