A great way to enhance the lives of others is through the unconditional love of pets. We provide support and training at our St. Louis location. We will be flexible with your schedule. There are patients on hospice in your area who want visits from volunteers. Please contact Kyle at the Comfort office if you are interested in discovering more about this opportunity.
Requirements include the appropriate training for pet therapy with appropriate pet therapy certification paperwork presented at training.
We are currently looking to prepare two new pet therapy owners to be available when COVID restrictions are lifted.

Mission Statement
For each employee to treat every patient as their own treasured loved one, providing care that affords a quality of life that outweighs quantity of days, and supports caregivers as their hearts find healing.
Description
Hospice care is not just for the patient. It also provides emotional support for the entire family. Hospice care includes a team of doctors, nurses, social worker, home health aide, chaplain and trained volunteers. This team works together focusing on the patient's needs, whether it be physical, psychological or spiritual. Most hospice volunteers are trained to relieve primary caregivers by helping with household chores, sitting with patients or running errands for them. The most improtant task, however, is their ability to be good listeners. Hospice volunteers also provide administrative assistance to the hospice care team by working in the office.
