Hurricane Harvey Volunteer for Hospice Patients

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Altus Hospice Care of Beaumont

  • 6 people are interested

Altus Hospice of Beaumont is seeking volunteers to help provide assistance to hospice patients effected by hurricane Harvey.

Our patients mostly need emotional support and companionship, as well as reassurance and validation that all is ok. Many patients were evacuated and it was very stressful and confusing for them.

Volunteer visits would take place wherever the patients are currently living, ie: nursing facility, their own residence or the residence of a friend or family member(s) where they are temporarily staying.

If you are interested we would love to hear from you.

Mission Statement

The Mission of Altus Hospice Care is to provide professional care with a personal touch. We accomplish this by focusing on both the patient and their family. We will treat the disease process with medical expertise while emphasizing quality living, not only physically, but also psychosocial, emotionally and spiritually. Comfort, compassion and a calming presence are the gifts we bring to this service, and we are honored to walk with the patient and loved ones through this special time. Our job is a sacred one, one which we view as a privilege. The Altus Hospice staff has a duty to treat each individual under our care, as well as our fellow team members, with the utmost respect, while honoring each individual’s choices and core values. To that end, we will listen intently, respond accordingly and serve humbly.
