Are you a veteran or have a family member who has served or is currently serving our country?
AseraCare Hospice is looking to pair veterans to help provide comfort and support at the end of life for our veteran patients. Veterans commonly share a common language, code of conduct, and honor.
Help us to preserve that honor. Schedules are very flexible and training is online, virtual or one on one. Currently no visits are being completed due to COVID-19 but we are completing onboarding to have volunteers ready when facilities open soon.

Mission Statement
To provide innovative healthcare one person, one family, and one community at a time.
Description
AseraCare is a family-centered hospice. We provide hospice services to patients and their families in the place they call home - in their apartment or house, assisted living or nursing home. Our services include RN case management, home health aid visits, social work, spiritual care, volunteers, and bereavement support for the families.
Hospice volunteers are needed in St. Joseph's County, Elkhart County, Marshall County, LaGrange, Fulton County and Kosciusko County to provide companionship and emotional support to patients and families according to the patient's plan of care. Hospice patients are individuals with terminal illnesses with a life expectancy of 6 months or less. Volunteer support me be in form of conversation, handholding, simple presence at the bedside, recreational activities, and pet/music therapy. Volunteers have the opportunity to develop on-going relationships with patients and families throughout their illness, or may be involved in short term "vigil" relationships.
