ORGANIZATION: 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.

For information please contact Candy Whipple ~ cwhipple@elara.com or call 231-349-3355.
