We need at least one volunteer who is bilingual; Spanish and English, to visit a darling patient we currently have who speaks only Spanish. Of course, there will be other patients who would love your conversations too, but we feel that this patient could use some special attention. Are you able to give about an hour a week to volunteer to sit and chat in Spanish? Training to be a hospice volunteer is easy and on-line. There is an application to complete - in English - and we work hard to make sure our volunteers and patients are safe and cared for. Please contact me, Jo Ann Crawford, Volunteer Coordinator through Volunteer Match! Thank you in advance, I am looking forward to speaking with you!

Mission Statement
The mission of Liberty Home Care and Hospice is to provide cost effective, quality services that will achieve optimal outcomes. Our hospice services are provided in a cost effective manner by staff who value respect, honesty, loyalty, trust and determination.
Description
Volunteers are the backbone of the hospice program. They are trained prior to working with patients, and their supervision continues after their formal training ends. These individuals give willingly of themselves to enhance the quality of life for hospice patients and their families. Volunteers are recruited, trained and placed with patients by the volunteer coordinator. Volunteers are great people with a real commitment to service. They are essential to the success of the hospice program.
Different ways in which a volunteer can provide love and care to Liberty Hospice patients and families are sitting with the patient, talking to the patient, completing life review, playing music and singing, reading, crafts, hosting a birthday party for the patient, and much more! New ideas are always welcomed.
Training is provided online or in-office, based on your preference.
