Massage Therapy volunteers provide gentle, supportive massage therapy to terminally ill hospice patients, either in a home setting or in a nursing facility. Massage therapy volunteers typically provide 2 to 4 hours of service weekly, incorporating gentle massage techniques to ease and comfort patients. Volunteers will adapt to the needs of patients who may be frail, elderly, or in pain. Some massage therapy volunteers may provide massage or therapeutic touch to family and/or the caregivers of our terminally ill patients.
Holisticare Hospice serves Ocean & Monmouth counties and can provide you with opportunities near your home or work place. Massage therapy visits can be made based on your own particular scheduling needs.
