Companion Time
Elara Caring
By Your Side
As hospice patients approach the end-of-life extra support is needed for both the patient and family. We are looking for special volunteers to visit patients at the bedside, to offer vigil and support. You could hold a hand, sing softly, read scripture or poetry, and provide support for the family at the bedside.
Hours are flexible. Weekdays, weekends, evenings, and on-call basis.

Time is limited, yet of eternal value. What makes it so is how you use it and to whom you give it. Share your gift of time with a patient on their end-of-life journey. No special skills are necessary, just a listening ear and an open heart. It will be some of the most rewarding time you’ll ever spend.
