Becoming a Veteran Volunteer!
Are you a veteran with compassion and time to share? If so, Elara Caring Hospice invites you to volunteer as a companion to other veterans with terminal illnesses. No special skills required; your experience and ability to relate to other veterans is invaluable. Regardless of branch, rank, time period, draft or enlisted status; YOU understand the culture, training, demands, sacrifice, commitment, rewards and the community bond which only exists in the military. Volunteers offer support to patients by talking, listening, reading, playing cards, watching TV, playing those old familiar songs and anthems, or simply sitting with them. Visits take place in homes, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes throughout Essex and Northern Middlesex Counties. Training provided. Hours are flexible (weekdays, weekends, evenings, etc., two hours per week or more). COVID-19 restrictions upheld per CDC Guidelines and facility requirements.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!
For more information, please contact Lisa Hanson, Volunteer Coordinator, at (603)819-6155 or email lhanson@elara.com
I look forward to hearing from you!
