As a Hospice Volunteer you are specially trained to support the patient and family in a variety of ways: visiting with the patient, providing spiritual support, reading, playing cards, even sewing or crocheting. If direct patient contact doesn't interest you, you can help provide excellent administrative support in the office, or help with special projects throughout the year.
Brookdale Hospice provides an individualized program of physical, emotional, and practical care for the patient, with emphasis on pain control and symptom management. Our program is a reflection of our spirit of caring, and we emphasize comfort, dignity and respect. We believe that centering our focus on both the patient and the family enables us to provide the best care.
Serious interested parties only, please. **For patient safety: must be able to pass a background check, drug screen and two-step TB test. If you drive to a patient's residence, you must have a current driver's license and proof of insurance.**
