Your time is one of your most valuable possessions. And sharing your time with a hospice patient is immensely rewarding. Hospice is all about helping to make someone's last days good days; that no matter how much time a person may have left, helping them (and their family) to make the most of that time. That's what companionship volunteers at Brookdale Hospice do -- they help make the dying process easier for patients and their families.
It's not for eveyone, that's for sure. It takes a special kind of person to do this work and we think you may just be that special person.
Got an hour or two a week to spare, to share? Then give us a call today and let's sit down and talk about how you can help others by being a Hospice Companionship Volunteer.

Mission Statement
Brookdale’s Mission is...Enriching the lives of those we serve with compassion, respect, excellence and integrity. Every day is an opportunity for Brookdale associates to deeply connect with people in a profound and personal way.
Description
The philosophy at Brookdale Hospice is that life is much more than physical health; it also includes the health of the human spirit. When physical health begins to fail, the nurturing of the spirit becomes critical for maintaining the dignity of the individual.
Hospice is a philosophy of care focused on comfort and quality of life at the end of life. It is designed to treat the whole person emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically by providing comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. As part of the process, family members also receive care and support - all provided by a team of specially trained professionals and volunteers. Bereavement services for family continue for one year after the patient has died.
Brookdale Hospice offers a full spectrum of care designed to respect the dignity of the individual. Our care is skilled and compassionate in its delivery with the goal of providing comfort and freedom from pain. At the same time, it aims to provide the patient with as much independence and control as possible, for as long as possible.
