Vigil volunteers will provide a supportive presence at the bedside of an actively dying patient. Vigil volunteers are basically "on call" to provide this much needed service. Some patients do not have family or friends. Therefore, some patients do die alone. We would like to eliminate this by having trained volunteers available to provide vigil when the time is needed . Vigil volunteers will need to be flexible and can be asked to provide vigil in the evening or on the weekend. The average Vigil visit could last between 2-4 hours.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people who have life-limiting illness. We seek to relieve pain and prevent suffering as well as assist in completion of end-of-life tasks that are important to the patient. We also support the family and other loved ones through education and counseling and through bereavement care.
Description
The volunteers are an essential part of the Kindred Hospice Team! They make a difference in the lives of our hospice patients and families by sharing their time and talents. The volunteers may make friendly visits, read to the patients, listen to their stories and hold a patient's hand for comfort. The volunteer may share a friendly pet, their musical talents or massage therapy to provide companionship and socialization. Volunteers may also share their office skills in an office setting by filing and bereavement mailings. By bringing an open heart and a willingness to learn and grow, the Kindred hospice volunteers make a difference on the lives of others, one person at a time.
