Hospice volunteers needed for friendly visits to patients and families facing terminal diseases. Volunteers should feel comfortable visiting patients in their home or at facilities. Volunteers help our patients and caregivers by completing the following activities:
1) Social stimulation for hospice patients: reading, talking, praying, bringing over pets, playing music, watching TV, holding their hand or simply just keep them company.
2) Practical Support to Caregivers: provide respite sitting, running errands to the supermarket or pharmacy, support by listening and conversing
Please keep in mind most of our patients reside in Aventura, Sunny Isles, Miami Beach, Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, Miami Lakes, Miami Gardens & North Miami.
