Companionship volunteers are needed for hospice patients. Companion volunteers simply spend time with the hospice patients. Often the role of a trusted Friend, being there when the patient needs a listening ear, a hand to hold, or an open heart. Companion volunteers offer relief to care givers for a brief period of time and can also provide helpful services such as letter writing, reading and making phone calls.
Care is given not only in long term care facility but also to home patients in the area.
