Grace Hospice is seeking compassionate, caring individuals to provide companionship and support for our terminally ill patients and their family members. Volunteers visit with our patients to offer a friendly smile and provide much needed companionship for someone who is facing a terminal illness. Our volunteers may also provide a much needed respite for family members who find themselves overwhelmed in caring for their loved one. Our service areas are in St Clair, Sanilac, and parts of Huron, Macomb, and Lapeer counties. (Volunteers will pair up with the Volunteer Coordinator to reduce driving time for the volunteer)

Mission Statement
For each employee to treat every patient as their own treasured loved one, providing care that affords a quality of life that outweighs quantity of days, and supports caregivers as their hearts find healing.
Description
The goal of Hospice care is for the patient to remain as comfortable and pain free as possible during their illness. Another primary goal of Grace Hospice is to allow the patient to remain in their own home, or the home of a loved one through the end of life. Hospice care can also be provided in a long term care facility or an assisted living facility. Our volunteers help us achieve this goal by providing additional support and companionship to the patient and their family members at a time when they need it the most. We are a Level Four partner with We Honor Veterans.
