Mission statement
At Encompass Health, we believe hospice is not a place, but rather a philosophy of care. Our goal is to bring dignity and comfort home by offering compassionate care to patients and their families during the final stages of life.
Description
Encompass Health is looking for volunteers to provide support to patients and their caregivers during their final months and weeks of life. Volunteers provide non-medical services and respite time for caregivers and family members. As a hospice volunteer, you will be given choices as to how much and what types of things you want to do.
A few ways you can help as a hospice volunteer is by providing companionship, running errands for patients and families, playing games or reading with patients, walking and caring for family pets, assist with light housekeeping, creating a photo album of the patient and their family, assist with general office support, send greeting cards, and so much more.
