Home Hospice of Georgia volunteers are an integral part of the hospice team. They have the opportunity to improve the quality of life for individuals who are facing a terminal illness.
Direct Patient Volunteers enrich the lives of patients and their families by providing emotional support, companionship, and by being an understanding presence. Volunteers can help in various ways such as compassionate listening, reading, listening to music, playing games, doing puzzles, helping patients complete a special project, and much more.
