Grace hospice is seeking loving, compassionate people to provide friendly visits to our patients in the Newaygo area.
Do you have a heart to serve others at a time when they need it the most? Do you have an hour or more a week to provide companionship to someone who is needing a friend? It would mean so very much to the patient and their loved ones.
Grace understands the importance and values the time and commitment our volunteer make in the lives of our patients and their loved ones.
Grace provides training to assure our volunteers are well educated in the core principles of Hospice, making sure the experience is like no other for both the patient as well as the volunteer.
If you would like more information regarding this unique experience, contact the Volunteer Coordinator at Grace Hospice today at 616.432.2050. You will be glad you did!

Mission Statement
For each employee to treat every patient as their own treasured loved one, providing care that affords a quality of life that outweighs quantity of days, and supports caregivers as their hearts find healing.
Description
Hospice is a philosophy of caring for patients whose medical conditions are not responding to treatment or for those patients who choose not to seek aggressive medical care at the end stage of life. It is a program for patients who are considered terminal and are expected to live six months or less if the disease follows its natural course, although many patients outlive this time frame. The hospice philosophy focuses on comfort care not curative care. The goal of hospice care is for the patient to remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible in their own home or the home of a loved one through the end of life. Hospice care can also be provided in a long-term care facility or an assisted living facility
