Caring Hospice Services has patients in communities throughout Fairfield County and Western New Haven County. We are looking for individuals who have certification in the Complementary Therapies of Reiki, Aromatherapy and Massage to visit our patients residing in private homes, nursing homes and assisted-living.

Complementary therapy volunteers help by providing comfort, assurance and social interaction with patients. They must produce documented evidence of certification in their field, as well as annual recertification if required.

Individualized training is provided free of charge. In keeping with Medicare requirements, background and medical checks are part of the training process.
