Compassus hospice is seeking ANGELS. Angel volunteers are the heart of hospice. They walk with others who are on their final and most sacred journey or in their last hours. They are non-medical volunteers trained to provide emotional support to the patient and caregiver in the last hours of life. They are the Alliance of Neighbors Giving End-of-Life Support.
The goal of the program is to provide a physical, compassionate presence during the last hours of living to hospice patients having only one or no primary caregiver. Angel volunteers ensure that each patient has a hand to hold during their last hours of life. *Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are not going into facilities at this time but will resume when it is safe to do so. We can still train you one-on-one at our office so you will be ready to go once you can visit. Our training is free of charge and open to your schedule.
Profoundly advancing the well-being and honoring the dignity of those we serve, helping make the world a better place--one family at a time.
