With Calstro Hospice, our volunteer program gives you options of how you would like to be a part of the growing senior community. Patients on hospice are considered terminally ill. We do not only serve hospice patients, but the elder community as a whole. We do this by educating them about services that are available to them in their community that would be beneficial to him or her as an individual: such as home health, physical therapy, private caregiving, referral to specialties, and medication management.
As a Volunteer, you can:
Option 1: act as a companion to our hospice patients in a 1 on 1 setting in their homes. Companionship means that you would be spending time with 1 patient doing things such as playing board games, listening to music, reading, writing letters, talking, or watching a movie. A small gesture such as holding a patient's hand could brighten up their day.
Option 2: volunteer in the office. Our trained professionals will expose and teach you the regulations and operations needed to provide the best care possible. You would be helping with filing, printing, copying, entering data using our hospice software, and providing customer service skills over the phone. Also, you will be exposed to nursing, medicine, social work, and spiritual counseling. If you are interested in learning the ins and outs of a successful hospice, our staff will be more than happy to teach you.
CDC COVID-19 Guidelines will be observed.
