Hospice of Western and Central MA is seeking Military Veteran Volunteers to provide companionship and socialization to Veteran patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families in your community. Hospice of Western and Central MA has worked hard to become a level V partner with the We Honor Veterans program-a partnership between the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and hospices. This pioneering program focuses on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening, and grateful acknowledgement. By recognizing the unique needs of America's Veterans and their families, our staff, and our Veteran Volunteers learn how to accompany and guide veteran patients through life stories toward a more peaceful ending. There are many roles a Veteran Volunteer can take. Veteran volunteers may make visits to Veteran patients in which they provide companionship and socialization through activities, providing a caring presence, or completing a life review. Alternately, a volunteer may attend and help with or lead Veteran Pinning Ceremonies or assist with special projects that benefit the Veteran community. We find volunteer roles for a Veteran that is as close to home as possible.

Hospice Volunteers Needed! All that is required is a kind, caring heart and desire to be a compassionate presence for a patient with a life-limiting illness. Volunteers increase our patient's quality of life by offering emotional support and companionship to our patients and their families. Athena Hospice of Rhode Island is in need of volunteers. Currently, volunteer opportunities exist in Providence and East Providence with our patients that reside in nursing homes. Volunteers throughout the state will eventually be needed as we receive additional patients. These volunteers may be in nursing homes or in the community. Volunteers support patients with life-limiting illnesses, and training is provided to volunteers so that they are equipped to do so. Training areas include Hospice philosophy, communication and active listening, family systems and dynamics, grief and bereavement, respecting cultural differences, patient rights, HIPPA, etc.. Volunteers find working with Hospice patients very rewarding as they help patients to live each day as fully and comfortable as possible. They support people in living out the ends of their lives with peace. We appreciate any time that someone is able to give, whether that is a few hours a week or more. Volunteers working with alert patients do things such as sit and talk with them, assist them with a hobby, paint their nails, take them outside, help them to a make video recording for their loved ones, etc. Some patients that are closer to the end of life are unable to actively participate. In these cases, volunteers do things such as read to the patient or play their favorite music. Volunteers are an invaluable part of our interdisciplinary team. Volunteers demonstrate a deep commitment to the Hospice Philosophy and to their desire to help others. Volunteers in hospice find it personally gratifying, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally meaningful to assist those in need at a critical point in their lives. Volunteers consistently report that helping the terminally ill through Athena Hospice is not about dying but about living.
