Studies have demonstrated that families volunteering together create additional respect and appreciation for each other. Parents become role models: teaching children to care for others.
We are looking to engage an entire family (parents, children, grandparents) in the life of a hospice patient. Your family can "adopt a patient for life." You can be creative, working together as a team to create cards to mail, activity lap blankets, companionship visits (adult only, after orientation), games, phone calls, etc.
Please consider being a family that expands itself, becoming an important "gift" to someone toward the end of life.

About Haven Hospice

Mission Statement
Haven Hospice is committed to providing quality care for patients faced with a life-limiting illness. The goal is to improve the quality of a person's life through pain and symptom control, emotional and spiritual support. We believe that the patient and family are intergral decision making members of the hospice team in planning and receiving care. Hospice offers an alternative to repeat hospitalizations. Hospice affirms life. It neither hastens nor postpones death, but assists the patient and family in living with a life-limiting illness. Hospice regards dying as a normal process at life's end in which we can provide dignity and comfort for the patient and loved ones.
Description
Haven Hospice reaches it's goal of supporting the patient and their families through several various disciplines. Our doctors, nurses, CNA's, social workers, chaplains, volunteers and community educators make up our caring team of individuals who know how important hospice is to not only the patient, but to the entire family.
