Volunteers are needed to visit with hospice patients to provide companionship and socialization.
Patients enjoy having a friendly visitor to talk to and reminisce on their life. Volunteers can help write letters and cards for the patient, watch tv with them, take a walk, play games and so on.
If you have 1 to 2 hours a week and want to make a difference in the life of a hospice patient, please reach out Helen Burgoyne, Regional Hospice Volunteer Coordinator for Southeastern Ma. at helen.burgoyne@amedisys.com
