When Life Changes.....Great Lakes Caring is here to help our patients and families through that change.
Great Lakes Caring is seeking caring, loving people to join our team as volunteers!
Volunteers do many things...
- Respite for the caregiver
- Companionship to the patient
- Reading
- Running Errands
- Spiritual Support
Our team at Great Lakes Caring is committed to assisting our patients and their loved ones along their journey and making it a quality of life, no many the number of days they may have left.
Great Lakes Caring relies on our volunteers to help us to do what we do best...help others! We value the importance that volunteers bring to our families. We know that there is a unique relationship between a volunteer, patient and family. One our clinical staff values and relys on.
If you have a few hours a week to sit with a patient and play cards, read to them, watch TV, give the family a much needed break, call Great Lakes Caring today!
You’ll be glad you did!
