Companionship

By visiting Crossroads Hospice patients in the Alliance area, you not only help someone in need, but you give your own health a little boost. Volunteering lowers blood pressure, combats loneliness, and builds self-confidence. You'll make new friends and be a part of an elite group that strives to bring joy to others.

Volunteers participate in some of the following activities with their patients: read, talk, play music or cards, paint nails for the ladies, bring a pet, write letters, share a laugh - the options are endless!


Crossroads Hospice goes to wherever our patient calls home - home/apartment, nursing home, assisted living facility. We strive to keep our volunteers within a 15 minutes drive from their home to their patient(s). You decide how much time you can give a month. We will match your interests and schedule.

We are always there for you before, during and after the need for palliative and hospice care.

Description

OUR DIFFERENCE

We ask our patients to "Expect More" from us with one-of-a-kind programs like:

  • Gift of a Day: Patients are asked, "If you had one day to live, what would you want it to look like?" Our staff, volunteers, and local businesses work together to bring these heart-warming "Gifts" to life.
  • Evenmore Care: We have lower-than-average patient-to-staff ratio that allow us to see patients virtually every day. More patient contact means we can identify an increased or sudden decline and initiate our Watch Program
  • Watch Program: Patients are closely monitored through multiple daily visits to better recognize when passing may be imminent, at which point we exhaust every effort to be by their side.
  • Veteran Program: Honoring patients who served in the military to protect our country. Staff and Volunteers are educated and trained in caring for veterans at the end-of-life.
  • Grief Recovery Program: A special 12 week program, led by our bereavement counselors, helps participants effectively cope with the pain caused by loss
