Hospice focuses on the quality of life, at the end of life. We are recruting volunteers to visit our patients. As patients decline, they are less able to do what they once did and may become isolated. Our volunteers visit these folks to offer friendship and companionship. It is friendship with a purpose. When we get to the end of life, every moment matters.
We value our volunteers. They are an important part of our patient's care.

Mission Statement
In keeping with our United Methodist tradition, we seek to enhance the quality of life and holistic growth of older persons.
Description
We have an emotional bond with our Otterbein residents. We’d like it to remain unbroken. That’s why we’ve developed a hospice care ministry. Should any of our Otterbein family decide not to pursue aggressive medical care at the end of life, we want to be their hospice caregivers. Sending them somewhere else at the most important spiritual phase of life doesn’t sit well with us. Their life is here. We want to be with them at the end of it.
We plan to be physically, emotionally and spiritually present to our elders and their loved ones. Our hospice nurses will be responsive, sharing care options, and ensuring comfort. Our social workers and chaplains will be there with loving guidance. And our elders will be at home, in every sense of the word.
