Do you have a big heart and time to share? We are currently looking for companionship volunteers to join us and make a difference in the lives of our patients. Help to enrich the quality of someone's life at the end. Provide support, socialization, run errands, read, play games, sing, pray, offer your hand and provide comfort. We have several patients who reside in Assisted Living communities in Kenwood, Deer Park, Mason, Finneytown, Fairfield and Springdale. We take time and ensure that we match you up with a patient that shares your same interests, hobbies, etc. We want this to be as rewarding for you as it is for our patients. We are very flexible and try to work with your schedule so that every patient has a volunteer. We provide training to ensure every volunteer is comfortable and fully prepared before any patient visits are made. Make a difference and touch a life.

Mission Statement
Enriching the lives of those we serve with compassion, respect, excellence and integrity.
Description
The philosophy at Brookdale Hospice is that life is much more than physical health; it also includes the health of the human spirit. When physical health begins to fail, the nurturing of the spirit becomes critical for maintaining the dignity of the individual.
Hospice is a philosophy of care focused on comfort and quality of life at the end of life. It is designed to treat the whole person emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically by providing comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. As part of the process, family members also receive care and support - all provided by a team of specially trained professionals and volunteers. Bereavement services for family continue for one year after the patient has died.
Brookdale Hospice offers a full spectrum of care designed to respect the dignity of the individual. Our care is skilled and compassionate in its delivery with the goal of providing comfort and freedom from pain. At the same time, it aims to provide the patient with as much independence and control as possible, for as long as possible.
