Beacon Hospice an Amedisys company, are looking for Veteran Volunteers to help provide companionship to patients who have served our country and are now approaching the end of life.
Veteran Volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with Veteran patients and their families. Volunteers make a difference in several ways, including but not limited to:
- Offering Companionship
- Celebrating a patient's life
- Reading Books or Writing Letters
- Playing Chess, Cards, Bingo, Board Games, etc.
- Watching TV or Listening to Music
Beacon Hospice will train all who are interested in helping others find some comfort in their final days. We are looking for 1 - 2 hours a week to visit with patients.
Help us bring the love of hospice to our Veteran Patients.
