Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County is a non-profit organization, whose service area stretches from Joyce to Diamond Point. We provide 24/7 nursing availability to our patients. Our respite volunteers offer respite to caregivers and families. Often it will be the only time during the week that the caregiver or family member can leave their loved one to run errands, attend to their own appointments, or simply get some rest & relaxation. Volunteers provide companionship to the patient while the caregiver is away.
Training is provided through a self-paced online volunteer training. Additional training happens throughout the year during monthly In-Services. A minimum commitment is not required but appreciated. We match geographical location between patients and volunteers (Sequim or Port Angeles.)
