Volunteers have the ability to make their own schedule and choose how many hours they work. Our patient care volunteers meet with our patients and provide companionship for them. Our patient care volunteers read with our patients and spend time talking about life, family, and movies or TV shows. The Hospice Patient Care Services Volunteer supplements the professional staff of Hospice, providing respite for family members/caregivers and other types of support which enhances the hospice care.

Mission Statement
Our Mission is to offer Hospice care with Grace. Our work is grounded in the values of compassion, accountability, respect, integrity, and service.
Description
Caris, established in 2003, strives to provide the utmost quality of care when receiving our services.
Upon admission, we ask every patient: "What are the three most important things we need to know about you to provide excellent care?" These answers shape how the caregiver team provides care to enhance the patient’s quality of life. Whether a patient prefers a certain snack or wants to be called by a childhood nickname, our team witnesses how these small gestures leave memorable impressions on our patients and families.Caris patients get the utmost quality of care when receiving our services. At Caris, we understand no patient or family is the same. We create care plans based on the individualized needs of the patient and family members. Caris modifies care plans if changes occur.
We Honor Veterans Program. Veterans may have experiences from their military service that present unique needs at the end of life. Because of these unique needs, Veterans may require specific interventions. Caris offers trained Veteran volunteers to offer "a listening ear," compassion, and honor.
