Volunteers needed to sit at bedside of hospice patients to give family members a chance to get out of the home for short periods of time for a much needed break. Training is provided. Volunteer never provides personal care nor do they administer medications. They do however sit with patient for 2 hours or less while the caregiver runs errands or simply works in the yard. Please consider giving the gift of time.
