I am looking for volunteers that live near Laurels of Defiance nursing home to visit with our hospice clients. Maybe you drive by this facility weekly, or you live near this facility. Would you consider stopping by once or twice a month?
Our hospice clients look forward to someone sitting with them for an hour, or whatever time you could spare.
it would be so nice to have a volunteer that would read to them, listen to their life story, or just sit with them and hold their hand. We have clients that cannot read any longer, but still like to have someone read the paper or books to them. Some of our clients like to have someone walk along with them in the halls.
There are so many things that a volunteer can offer, so please reach out to me.
