Let ’s be honest....too often times we make excuses for not doing the things we know we should do.
We say things like "I will volunteer when I retire" or "I just don’t have any extra time."
In all honestly we have the same amount of time that everyone else does. It’s just how we choose to use it!
If you have ever felt like you were meant to do something else, something more to enhance the quality of life of others then this opportunity is for you!
Grace Hospice is seeking caring, dedicated people to provide support and companionship to our hospice patients and their families.
This is a flexible program that entails detailed training, and on going support from the entire team!
There is a background check, fingerprints, Step I & II and drug tests required.
This is a relationship building program and requires at least a year commitment to the program.
If you would like more information on this truly rewarding opportunity, please call Grace Hospice at 616.432.2050 today!

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
