Our patient volunteers play an important role in the care of our hospice patients. Volunteers visit with their patients once a week (minimum) to provide added socialization. Many hospice patients are in nursing homes and although they are surrounded by other people, depression and loneliness can set in. That is where our volunteers come in! Volunteers can play games, do puzzles, play music, attend activities, or just sit and visit with their patient.
We are looking to add to our volunteer team in the following counties: Kendall, Kane, Dupage, and surrounding.
If you are interested in more information or have questions, please contact me! We ALWAYS have patients in need of a volunteer!
I look forward to hearing from you! Please call or email!
