We need people to sit with patients who have no family to be there at the end of life. We are trying to get a pool of people so we can make a schedule and no one will have to stay a long time. Often times older people are in nursing homes and all of their families have already passed away. Sometimes families live out of state and need someone to watch over a loved one while they are traveling to Oklahoma to be by there side .You give me the days and hours you are available and I work around your schedule .Training , background check, and TB test are required but we cover the cost of it all. Make someones last hours on earth not be a time of loneliness. No physical requirements and you will not be doing any patient care except sitting next to them and calling for their nurse if they seem uncomfortable.We also can use someone who can sit with families during the last hours of their family members life so they don't have to do it alone.Thank you so much for taking the time to read about this most rewarding opportunity I look forward to meeting you !www.heavenlyhospiceok.com 405-701-2536

Description
Hospice care is specialized care for the terminally ill. A hospice is an organization that provides this special care. Hospice caregivers visit and care for people at the end stage of life in their private home or in a nursing home, assisted living, etc. Each hospice is unique but all hospices share the same basic mission and philosophy.Heavenly Hospice’s philosophy is to provide support and care for persons in the last stages of a terminal illness so that they live life as fully and comfortably as possible. At Heavenly Hospice we believe the dying process is a natural part of life. Our team and programs provide a continuum of care services that support the patient and family in all aspects. Our philosophy is that patients have choices in how they approach daily living. We offer and respect those choices and do everything possible to meet the needs of patients and their families. We strive to educate families and take really good care of them. Our staff of volunteers can even work on weekends and evenings. We offer to mow a lawn, give a haircut, clean out a refrigerator, or just talk. We offer programs and services outside of just the traditional ones, e.g., pet therapy, music therapy, and birthday celebrations. Volunteers offer another level of support to families and work as a team alongside our nurses, home health aides, chaplains, social workers.
