Most hospice volunteers feel personally rewarded through their offering of time, energy and compassion when they see how much they are able to help patients and families. Patient/family support includes companionship to the patient and respite for the caregiver that include friendly visits, writing letters, reading to patients, light housekeeping, running errands, or preparing a favorite meal or dessert for the patient/family.
