Do you have some spare time during the day? Pathways to Compassion Hospice is looking for people who want to visit hospice patients. Only requirement is enjoying visiting people. If you are compassionate and caring individual, you would make a great volunteer!
Daytime availability is helpful for patients needing extra companionship as well as providing respite for families who need to get out of the house for a few hours to do grocery shopping, etc.
Volunteer training and supervision are provided. Two Tuberculosis screenings (provided by Pathways to Compassion Hospice) need to be completed prior to visiting patients as well as a background check.

Description
Hospice Philosophy Hospice provides palliative support and care for persons in the last phases of incurable disease so that they may live as fully and as comfortable as possible. Hospice recognizes dying as part of the normal process of living and focuses on maintaining the quality of remaining life. Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice exists in the hope and belief that through appropriate care, and the promotion of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and their families may be free to attain a degree of mental, social, physical and spiritual preparation for death that is satisfactory to them.
