Monmouth County, NJ 07728
We are looking for Certified Therapy Dogs to visit our patients! Many of our patients are animal lovers and would love a visit from a therapy dog. While many nursing homes and assisted living facilities are pet-friendly, there are some that don’t allow resident animals. Consequently, some patients have to give up their furry companions when making the transition into a long-term care facility. This often complicates an already difficult time for patients and their loved ones. If you are the owner of a certified therapy dog, please consider becoming a volunteer with Embracing HospiceCare. You and your four-legged friend are sure to put a smile on a patient’s face! Positions are available in Monmouth, Ocean, Mercer, Middlesex, and Somerset counties. To learn more, please contact our volunteer director, Becky Colby, at 732-974-2545 or via email at bcolby@ehcnj.com.

Howell, NJ 07731
Embracing HospiceCare is looking for volunteers who are interested in visiting home hospice patients. You don’t need a medical background or hospice experience; all you need is a caring heart and a willingness to make a difference in the life of a terminally ill patient. Volunteers will receive special training to serve as Patient Companions. As a Patient Companion, volunteers will have the opportunity to read to patients, play chess or checkers, help to make a scrapbook or write letters - or simply provide a loving, calming presence to a patient in need. A Patient Companion’s duties depend on the patient’s unique needs and interests. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to give back to their community. Positions are available in Howell, Tinton Falls, Brielle, and Sea Girt. Other home hospice volunteer opportunities are available in Ocean and Mercer counties. To learn more, please contact our volunteer director, Becky Colby, at 732-974-2545 or via email at bcolby@ehcnj.com.

Tennent, NJ 07763
Embracing HospiceCare is looking for Musicians/Singers to give the gift of music to our patients! If you play an instrument or sing (or both) and you have a compassionate, giving heart, you might be the person we’re looking for! Instruments that are easily portable would be best for performing at the bedside: guitar, ukulele, mandolin, keyboard, flute, clarinet, small percussion instruments, etc. Performances would be for individual patients (not groups.) As a music lover, you already know that music has a profound effect on people; this is especially true for those in the final stages of life. It can relieve stress and even physical pain and promotes peace and relaxation for the patient. Your talent and companionship are sure to bring joy to our patients! Opportunities are available in Monmouth, Ocean, Mercer, Middlesex, and Somerset counties. To learn more, please contact our volunteer director, Becky Colby, at 732-974-2545 or via email at bcolby@ehcnj.com.
