Volunteers

They can also provide a benefit to the family caregivers, offering relief so caregivers can run errands, spend time with their children, or even take a much-needed nap.
Specialty volunteersBAYADA works with local practitioners to coordinate visits from volunteers who are experienced in various complementary therapies. Depending on your area, volunteers may be available to provide pain and symptom relief through complementary therapies such as massage therapy, reiki, music therapy, pet therapy, and aromatherapy.
