Did you know that there are more than 468,000 hospice volunteers at work throughout the United States? Hospice Volunteers are an essential part of the hospice philosophy of care which recognizes that dying is not just a medical event, but a personal one as well. Volunteers are the very heart of hospice care-----the time they spend with patients and families is truly invaluable.
Here at Old Colony Hospice, we are fortunate to have many exceptional volunteers who utilize their vast array of talents to help us in so many ways.
We are recruiting hospice volunteers who play guitar who would be wiling to visit patients to bring some joy and reminiscence in their familiar surroundings

Mission Statement
The Old Colony Hospice team compassionately cares for individuals and their loved ones coping with complex illnesses and end of life needs while preserving dignity and quality of life.
Description
Hospice care is one of the most personal experiences of an individual’s life. Focused on meeting the physical, spiritual, and psychosocial needs of patients with advanced disease, hospice care often involves family and friends who are committed to ensuring that their loved one can live where they are most comfortable and enjoy the highest quality of life possible for their entire life.
For over 30 years, Old Colony Hospice’s team of registered nurses, social workers, counselors, hospice aides, nutritional consultants and volunteers has been providing caring, compassionate hospice care to patients and their loved ones in partnership with the patient’s primary care physician.
A free-standing, non-profit, Medicare certified, accredited health care organization, we are proud to serve 45 Massachusetts cities and towns in our service area. In order to serve our patients and families in whatever setting they consider home. We also are able to offer physical, occupational and speech therapy through relationships with other care providers.
