Needing Compassionate Elkhart Volunteers!
ORGANIZATION: HarmonyCares Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
We are reaching out to the Elkhart community to see if a music loving volunteer would like to spend some quality time with one of our patients. Our patient, who is a music lover, would love for someone to come and sit with him while listening to music and talk. He does prefer a male volunteer. This quality time would greatly improve the quality of his life just by bringing a comforting presence and could turn his day around. He does have a passion for liberal arts as well and has taken many classes on different languages and would like to share his knowledge with the world. Please visit our website at ghospice.com to find more information about our organization and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our patients mean the world to us and we know you'll feel the same once you get started with us.

Mission Statement
Our mission is 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
HarmonyCares Hospice of Indiana is the first HarmonyCares Hospice in the state and has Nurses, CNA's/Hospice Aides, Social Workers, Chaplains and Volunteers that assist the patients and support their families wherever the patient considers their "home" to be.
The hospice philosophy focuses on comfort care not curative care. The goal of hospice care is for the patient to remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible 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.
Hospice is a philosophy of caring for patients whose medical conditions are not responding to treatment or for those patients who choose not to seek aggressive medical care at the end stage of life. It is a program for patients who are considered terminal and are expected to live six months or less if the disease follows its natural course, although many patients outlive this time frame.
We strive to improve the quality of life for all we serve including our patient's families, their neighbors, and the community they live in. We strive to make an impact with everyone we meet and improve the community as a whole.
Come make a difference with the first HarmonyCares Hospice of Indiana. This is an opportunity that will change your life.
