The Compassus Volunteer Companion Program is a one-on-one visiting program for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. Volunteer companions are matched with a person with the disease and visit once a week, during their preferred time, to listen and converse as a friend with empathy and encouragement. Engagement in meaningful moments and activity that are particularly suited to each Hospice individual.
Volunteers are expected to complete Background checks, a TB test, and training.

Mission Statement
The mission of Compassus is to honor life and offer hope to individuals facing a life-limiting illness by supporting them with compassion, integrity and excellence.
Description
The Hospice promise is to provide dignity to our patients and families. Hospice care is an aggressive approach to pain and symptom control as well as addressing the emotional and spirtual needs of the dying. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice Compassus seeks to enable patients to carry on an alert, pain-free life and manage other symptoms so their last days may be spent with dignity and quality of life.
