We all want to make a difference in someone's life. We are looking for people who are willing to improve the quality of life for our patients. Can you give an hour or two a week to visit someone in hospice? Volunteers can read to patients, sing songs, reminisce, visit, take a walk if patient is capable, maybe push a wheelchair for a nature walk, help write letters for loved ones, etc. The possibilities are endless. The activity depends on patients need/desire and ability.
Some patients are in their own homes and others are in Assisted Living Facilities. Most patients are over 50 years old. Some have dementia, but others are very cognitive and converse well.
Volunteers are matched to patients in their local area and with patients with similar interests.
We are also in need of office volunteers. You will still contribute to our mission to care for people by helping us in the office.

Mission Statement
The Colleagues of Compassus are committed to keeping The Hospice Promise by delivering the highest quality of care, serving the needs of patients and families and spreading the stories of hospice to those with whom they come into contact. Compassus recognizes death as a natural part of the life cycle, and promotes pain relief and symptom management as appropriate clinical goals. Compassus affirms life and provides hospice interventions that will seek neither to hasten death nor to postpone it. Compassus understands that psychosocial and spiritual pain is often as significant as physical pain, and that addressing all three requires the skills of an interdisciplinary team. Compassus believes that patients and loved ones are an integral part of our Plan of Care.
Description
Compassus is dedicated to quality excellence, compassionate care, and providing comfort and support to patients and their families.
Our services, including home health, palliative care and hospice, are centered on improving the quality of life for our patients and their families. We deliver personalized care that puts our patients’ goals and preferences at the forefront of their individual care plan, regardless of their condition.
From home health services that help patients maintain their independence, to palliative care focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness at any stage, to hospice care that assures end-of-life physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs are met, our colleagues are committed to serving patients and their families with heartfelt compassion.
