About
Aurora at Home Hospice is seeking kind and caring individuals to share their time and talents with our hospice patients and their families.
The comprehensive training you receive will help you to open your heart to understanding the circumstances a hospice patient and their loved ones are facing, and give you the practical and emotional tools to feel confident about offering them the assistance you have been trained to provide. Compassionate presence, just sitting quietly with a patient is another skill our training will provide you with.
This assistance can include: running errands, playing card games, listening to a person's life story, reading or singing, playing or listening to music, or watching TV with a patient. A volunteer’s presence can help lessen a patient’s loneliness by providing them with companionship. And caregivers find relief when a volunteer comes by to stay with a patient while he or she enjoys some much needed personal time off.
Our volunteers work in the community - in patient’s homes, adult family homes, and nursing homes.
Volunteers are integral members of the hospice team and receive support from their team including the social worker and nurse assigned to the family they are working with. Ongoing hospice education is offered throughout the year.
Aurora at Home Hospice serves Green Bay, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Oshkosh and the surrounding area.
