The services you will give as a Community Home Care & Hospice volunteer will profoundly improve the quality of our patients' lives. Friendly visits enable families to keep their loved ones at home, around the people they love, and the things they love. Assisting with errands helps a tired family caregiver cope with their many challenges and allows them time with their loved one. Simply holding a patient's hand can ease their mind and console their spirit. Volunteering takes no advanced medical training or great commitment. It can be as simple as reading to, or spending time with a patient a few hours a week. It's small deeds of kindness that so profoundly enhance the lives of our patients and those who love them.
