Pet Therapy

Heritage Hospice is seeking certified pets and handlers to make visits with hospice patients.

Our hospice patients reside in their home and may be unable to care for a pet anymore or live in a nursing facility and are away from their own pets. By sharing the love of your pet, you can brighten someone's day while keeping a schedule that is convenient for you.

Hospice orientation/training and volunteer screenings are provided by Heritage Hospice at no cost to you and at your convenience.

Mission Statement

The family of Heritage Hospice provides peace of mind through comfort and support. We enhance the quality of life for our patients and their loved ones as they redefine hope along life's journey.

Description

Heritage Hospice is a family-founded hospice that takes pride in providing our patients with comfort, dignity and peace either in the comfort of their own home or in a skilled facility of their choice.

Hospice care treats the whole person's physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs in the last phase of life. These services may be provided at home, in an inpatient facility, nursing home or in another setting that best suits the needs of the patient and caregivers. Hospice care helps the person to live at home or in the most comfortable setting as long as possible, stay as active as possible, express and accept feelings, assists the family to care for their loved one, manage practical tasks, deal with stress, provide support and feel at peace.
