Village Home Health and Hospice strives to provide the best end of life care possible to our residents with terminal diagnoses. We serve patients at two location - Maple Knoll in Springdale and Cedar Village in Mason. Our volunteers can work at one or both locations, and residents at both communities have needs that our volunteers can provide!
We are looking specifically for volunteers who have trained/certified therapy animals who would be able to bring them in for our hospice residents to interact with. All of our residents, regardless of mental capacity and diagnosis, always light up when an animal visits them. We would love it if you would be able to provide that service!
Pleas contact us as soon as possible if you are interested!
