Elara Caring, one of the nation’s largest providers of home-based care, is looking for compassionate volunteers willing to donate their time to provide exceptional end-of-life care to local hospice patients and their families.

If you love to sing or play an instrument, you can share music with a hospice patient in a local nursing facility or a patient’s home. This opportunity is especially appealing to music lovers and music therapy students. We typically ask that you visit your assigned patient 1-2 hours per week.
