Your efforts and open heart are needed! There are many hospice patients/families in the Gresham and Sandy areas in need of companionship. Make weekly visits to a hospice patient in your community. Companionship is many things -- listening to stories of a lifetime, sharing in activities of art, music, games, reading favorite books, poetry, or prayer, drinking tea or cocoa by a bright window, holding a hand in sacred silence. Many of our patients live in a senior community setting -- assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, adult care home -- your volunteer companionship is even more important for those missing the close attention of family. Bring your love of art and crafts, musical talents, and open heart to enhance companionship visits. Weekly visits are extremely flexible and we assign you to a patient/family closest to where you live. We serve patients and families living in your community in Sandy, Gresham, Troutdale, Estacada, Oregon City and all Portland metropolitan areas. Once trained and ready to go, your time of service is from 1-4 hours a week. The first step is to contact me and meet at your favorite coffee shop where we'll talk about hospice and what volunteering entails. Training is at your pace. Our volunteer training will help deepen your awareness of the healing presence you have available to share with others. Please join our outstanding hospice team for this rewarding work! There are 3 levels to complete with approx 21hrs of training. We follow all CMS/CDC/State guidelines on safety, testing, background/driver checks, and tb test. To find out more please contact me - Tammy Paladeni, Signature Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, tammy.paladeni@sighch.com, 971-718-3578. I look forward to hearing from you!
