- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Becoming a hospice volunteer gives you the opportunity to participate in the re-affirmation of life and its experiences for persons in the final stages of life. Volunteers may even find that showing kindness and compassion for others is therapeutic for themselves. We have several different types of volunteers at Legacy Hospice. Direct Care Volunteers do things directly with the patient and caregiver, including reading, writing down memories, and other activities. Indirect Volunteers help with clerical work in the office. Bereavement Volunteers help families and loved ones on their journey through the grieving process. Veteran to Veteran Volunteers are military veterans who we train to provide companionship to our terminally ill military veterans. Our volunteers are an integral part of our mission to provide quality care to patients and their families in the comfort of their own home.

Mission Statement
Legacy Hospice was established to provide home care for terminally ill patients. Our goal is to help meet patients' physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs as well as the needs of their families.
Description
Hospice affirms life and focuses on the quality of life. Hospice exists to provide support and care for persons in the last phases of incurable illnesses so that they might live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice recognizes dying as a normal process whether or not resulting from disease. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice exists in the hope and belief that through appropriate care and the support of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and families may be free to attain a degree of mental and spiritual preparation for death that is satisfactory to them.
