Silverado Hospice has an ongoing need for volunteers to offer comfort and companionship during the end-of-life process. This opportunity is for providing companionship and wellness checks to patients. The volunteer would have to complete a training provided by Silverado Hospice.
Volunteers act as an additional support system for patients and/or their families through the process. Simplistic, but important task such as playing music quietly on a CD, phone or instrument. Reading poetry/scriptures, or sitting quietly while holding the hand of a patient are effective dignifying kinds of interactions. Volunteers will often times sit with the patient/family anywhere from 1 to 2 hours on a weekly basis. Additionally, volunteers will receive training so each volunteer can feel confident.
For more information, please call 949-606-6825 and speak to the Volunteer Manager.
