A piano, saxophone and guitar are in this assisted living home, sitting idly by instead of being used to engage the residents. It's amazing how people with Alzheimer's or other illnesses react to music. When someone is playing the flute or other instrument in the room, the residents have been known to tap their fingers or toes and smile and comment how much they like the song. These can be the same people that sleep most of the day or are generally non verbal.
Bring your talent to others. Use the instruments at the home or bring your own!
Please consider a commitment of one hour a week or every 2 weeks. Saturday is the best day since it's often a day with no other visitors. However, if you have no availability for Saturday but do have on another day of the week, please submit your schedule!
We look forward to talking with you!

Mission Statement
Haven Hospice is committed to providing quality care for patients faced with a life-limiting illness. The goal is to improve the quality of a person's life through pain and symptom control, emotional and spiritual support. We believe that the patient and family are intergral decision making members of the hospice team in planning and receiving care. Hospice offers an alternative to repeat hospitalizations. Hospice affirms life. It neither hastens nor postpones death, but assists the patient and family in living with a life-limiting illness. Hospice regards dying as a normal process at life's end in which we can provide dignity and comfort for the patient and loved ones.
Description
Haven Hospice reaches it's goal of supporting the patient and their families through several various disciplines. Our doctors, nurses, CNA's, social workers, chaplains, volunteers and community educators make up our caring team of individuals who know how important hospice is to not only the patient, but to the entire family.
