Silverado Hospice has an ongoing need for volunteers to offer comfort and companionship during the end of life process. Volunteers act as an additional support system for patients and/or their families through the process. Simplistic, but important task such as watching a movie, engaging in conversation, Reading poetry/scriptures, or sitting quietly with the patient. Volunteers will oftentimes sit with the patient/family anywhere from 2 to 4 hours on a weekly basis. Additionally, volunteers will receive training so each volunteer can feel confident.
This opportunity is to relieve a caregiver so that she may run errands or have a break. As caring for someone at end of life can be overwhelming, it is important that all caretakers have rest and time for themselves.
The patient speaks English and Farsi, she loves visitors and lives in Irvine. Please contact me for further questions:

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.
