Cornerstone Hospice has been an amazing experience from the beginning. The process to start volunteering was a breeze. They make it very convenient for you to volunteer. I am always placed in welcoming, clean, grateful homes. I leave every time feeling better than when I went in. They are so nice and gracious and work around ANY schedule. I work and go to school, and still they find people that I can help. Thanks Cornerstone Hospice!
