If you love creating art, doing crafts or are creative and want to share your talent with others, being a Hospice Craft Volunteer is a wonderful place to start! Being able to provide Hospice patients with beautiful pieces of art work, cute holiday decorations, birthday cards, photography, collages, scrapbooks or even short videos can truly create a more peaceful, relaxing and happy end of life journey for them. Craft volunteers are able to work on crafts or projects with the patient, at the office, or they are able to work from home and bring their creations to the office to be taken to patients. Craft volunteers are also able to create art for the patient's family as a means of bereavement once a patient has died.

About Atlanta Family Hospice
Location:
5950 Live Oak Parkway, Norcross, GA 30093, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the highest quality individualized care to patients who face life-limiting illness. We believe the patient and family are one. We extend our support and services to our patients, their families, caregivers, and the communities we serve.
Description
Hospice isn't a place, it is a philosophy and level of extraordinary care. We focus on serving patients at end of life, with a prognosis of six months or less to live, if the disease runs its normal course. Hospice is palliation of pain and system management, not curative focused. We have an interdisciplinary rather than hierarchy approach, to meet the goals and expectations of our patients, as well as their family. Our team consists of Volunteers, nurses, physicians, certified nursing assistants, mastered prepared licensed medical social workers, non-denominational chaplains and spiritual care coordinators, as well as bereavement coordinators and our community partners.
