Bristol Hospice provides hospice services to meet the physical, psycho-social, and spiritual needs of individuals at the end of life . We focus on an individualized plan of care which may include, as appropriate, the following services: nursing, physicians, hospice aides, spiritual supports, therapy, dietary, counseling, volunteers, durable medical equipment, supplies, bereavement services and medication related to terminal illness.
Volunteers are important part of the hospice model. Volunteers provides special compassionate presence and support to our patients and family in ways that only a volunteer can. When a volunteer visits a patient , they are visiting the patient because they want to be there. It's not a job or an obligation. That is a powerful action for our patients and families.
