Hello, thank your your interest! We are nonprofit in-home hospice serving patients in various care communities in Northern Colorado. Our book club volunteers help with our library cart at a nursing home in Fort Collins. Volunteers typically visit once per week to offer books to residents around the community. Volunteers can also read with patients in a group, or out loud to the patients at bedside. This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to make a real difference in someone's life. It is also a great chance to gain experience in the healthcare field, hospice, social work, nursing, activities, and geriatrics. The schedule is flexible and accommodating. Volunteers can volunteer during the week, weekends or evenings.

209 Main St, Mead, CO 80542, US
Mission Statement
Halcyon Hospice is committed to a standard of excellence in providing sensitive, patient centered health care to hospice patients and families.
Description
Hospice care does not seek to cure, does not seek to hasten or prolong, but instead offers comfort and support for patients and their families. Hospice facilitates emotional and spiritual growth while physical conditions change. Hospice care is provided everywhere. The hospice team specializes in the physical, social, spiritual and emotional care of the patient and family, with professionals and volunteers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Hospice care honors the potential for growth in this cycle of life, bringing a clinically-directed, interdisciplinary team to nurture, support, and heal during the last stages of an illness and bereavement period. Non-discriminatory, hospice offers palliative care without regard to age, gender, nationality, race, creed, sexual orientation, disability, diagnosis, availability of a primary caregiver, or ability to pay.
