McLaren Hospice is seeking pet therapy volunteers to visit hospice patients in nursing facilities, and/or in their own homes.
Pet therapy provides a service that is unique and often fills a gap in need for the patient that the human touch simply cannot. This is due to the pet's unspoken connection with the patient. We have many stories from our current pet therapists regarding this connection that we can share!
Please consider joining our team so that we might reach terminally ill patients with the blessing of pet therapy.
Vision Statement: Our vision is to be recognized as the premier provider of homecare services as measured by superior quality, dedicated/professional people, outstanding customer service, and financial strength. Mission Statement: McLaren Health Care Corporation, through its subsidiaries, will be Michigan's best value in healthcare as defined by quality outcomes and cost.
Description
The hospice program offers specialized care to eligible patients to enhance the time they spend with family and friends. Our skilled specialists provide care that addresses all aspects of a patient's illness, as well as the patient's physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. From pain and symptom management to respite care for family members, the care we provide supports patient and family choices with respect, comfort, and dignity. We address the patient's personal needs and symptoms to give them the greatest amount of independence possible. Our focus is improving the quality of life so that our patients and families can live their lives as fully as possible.
