Many friends are needed

You are invited to consider becoming trained as a dementia care volunteer in Hope Hospice's innovative new program, Living With Dementia. The goal of this program is to offer increased well-being and supportive friendship to those who are affected by dementia.

Here are the details regarding the training program and time commitment:

August 18th 9.30am-3.30pm
All meetings will be held at Hope Hospice (6377 Clark Ave. Suite 100, Dublin, CA)

Your time commitment as a dementia care volunteer will vary depending on your availability and patient need.

As a new volunteer, you will also be required to complete an online training for basic homecare hospice knowledge. This training will take approximately 8-10 hours at your convenience. Additionally, there are health screening requirements and an orientation that is separate from the dementia training program. A criminal background check will also be obtained. The start-up details can seem rather heavy but in the end you will be able to experience personal rewards and satisfaction as you engage with our aging adults in the community.

Mission Statement

Hope Hospice provides compassionate, quality care to patients at the end of life.

Description

Hope Hospice is a non-profit agency serving the Tri-Valley region of the San Francisco East Bay Area and neighboring cities. We care for patients in private homes, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities and provide care regardless of a patient's insurance status or ability to pay. Volunteers provide immeasurable support to Hope's patients and families, and we will work with you to find an assignment near your home or work neighborhood.

Even the simplest of gestures - reading to or talking with someone - has a meaningful impact. There are many ways for you to contribute your time and talents. Some examples:

  • Visiting with patients in your local community
  • Giving family caregivers much-needed relief
  • Pet therapy
  • Music therapy
  • Massage
  • Supporting the work of Hope by helping in the office
  • Assisting with Hope’s dementia care education program
  • Facilitating grief support programs
  • Bedside vigil

We also present family caregiver education classes, dementia care classes, and grief support services at no cost to anyone in the community who needs help, even if their loved one is not one of our patients.
