BECOME A SILVERADO HOSPICE VOLUNTEER!
Silverado Hospice volunteers make a difference in our patient's lives every day!
At Silverado Hospice, Volunteers play an integral part in how we compassionately meet the needs of those in our care. Join us and become part of a very special group of people who spend time with our patients.
If you can spend time visiting with those facing a terminal illness, then we need you! Volunteers visit with patients and provide companionship, laughter, compassion and understanding, 1-2 hours per week.
No special skills required, just a desire to help others. Training is provided and we will work with your schedule.
Being with someone facing a terminal illness might be the most important thing you do for someone, but it is definitely the most important thing you can do for that person. Join us.
For questions, please call 847-565-2355
Thank you!

Mission Statement
It is our mission to affirm the cycle of life by enhancing the quality of living for those at the end of life. The Silverado standard is to care compassionately for patients and families and to empower those we serve to have quality of life options that afford them comfort and dignity.
Description
Silverado Hospice honors the value of each life by empowering the patient and family to make supported choices in end-of-life care, enhancing comfort, relieving suffering and supporting effective grieving. We believe that Hospice patients have the right to continue life to the fullest extent possible according to their circumstances, and in fostering opportunities for growth and fulfillment. We further recognize patients and families decision-making rights in relation to continuing medical treatments and their right to withdraw treatment whose benefits are outweighed by their burdens. Silverado believes in equal opportunity and non-discrimination for our clients, our associates, and our community.
