At Heavenly Hospice we believe your volunteer time is the most important time in another person's life.
Our 11th Hour Angel Program trains Volunteers to provide emotional support to the patient and caregivers in the last hours of the patients life. Primarily volunteers offer a physical presence so a patient does not die alone and also provide family support through compassionate presence.
It may surprise many people to learn that hundreds of hospice patients die alone daily, with absolutely no one by their side. To help provide this much needed care, Heavenly Hospice has created the 11th Hour Angel Program. This select group of trained volunteers provides a supportive, peaceful presence in a home or facility during the final hours of a patient's life.
Our 11th Hour Angels are trained in the best practices for end-of-life care to provide support to these patients with no immediate family and to those with limited support.

If you believe you are right for this program, please feel free to give me a call at 405.701.2536
Thank you for your interest, Teresa!

Description
Hospice care is specialized care for the terminally ill. A hospice is an organization that provides this special care. Hospice caregivers visit and care for people at the end stage of life in their private home or in a nursing home, assisted living, etc. Each hospice is unique but all hospices share the same basic mission and philosophy.Heavenly Hospice’s philosophy is to provide support and care for persons in the last stages of a terminal illness so that they live life as fully and comfortably as possible. At Heavenly Hospice we believe the dying process is a natural part of life. Our team and programs provide a continuum of care services that support the patient and family in all aspects. Our philosophy is that patients have choices in how they approach daily living. We offer and respect those choices and do everything possible to meet the needs of patients and their families. We strive to educate families and take really good care of them. Our staff of volunteers can even work on weekends and evenings. We offer to mow a lawn, give a haircut, clean out a refrigerator, or just talk. We offer programs and services outside of just the traditional ones, e.g., pet therapy, music therapy, and birthday celebrations. Volunteers offer another level of support to families and work as a team alongside our nurses, home health aides, chaplains, social workers.
