HOSPICE BEREAVEMENT VOLUNTEER

Please visit the new page to apply.
Do you have a special place in your heart for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one?
Then being a Brookdale Hospice Bereavement volunteer might be the perfect fit for you as you look for ways to "give back."
A phone call just checking in from a volunteer can be very meaningful to the families and loved ones grieving the loss of one of our hospice patients. This is the work of our bereavement volunteers -- a phone call just to say "we're thinking about you...is there anything we can do for you during this time."
In addition to our standard training for hospice volunteers, bereavement volunteers receive additional specialized training in how to interact with grieving loved ones. Or it may be assisting with mailings to our families.
If this is something you feel you might be interested in, let us know. This is a great way for someone who wants to be a hospice volunteer but is uncomfortable with seeing patients to be a part of our care (and caring) team.
We would love to work with you in serving our families!

Description
The philosophy at Brookdale Hospice is that life is much more than physical health; it also includes the health of the human spirit. When physical health begins to fail, the nurturing of the spirit becomes critical for maintaining the dignity of the individual.
Hospice is a philosophy of care focused on comfort and quality of life at the end of life. It is designed to treat the whole person emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically by providing comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. As part of the process, family members also receive care and support - all provided by a team of specially trained professionals and volunteers. Bereavement services for family continue for one year after the patient has died.
Brookdale Hospice offers a full spectrum of care designed to respect the dignity of the individual. Our care is skilled and compassionate in its delivery with the goal of providing comfort and freedom from pain. At the same time, it aims to provide the patient with as much independence and control as possible, for as long as possible.
