To provide haircuts and haircare to hospice patients in their homes. Due to Covid 19 restrictions we are not allowed in the homes at this time but hoping to go ahead and onboard licensed hairdresser volunteers for when the restrictions are lifted... As we all know you always feel better when your hair looks good. Most folks are not well enough to travel to a salon.
At Encompass Health Hospice, we believe hospice is not a place but rather a philosophy of care. Our goal is to bring dignity and comfort home by offering compassionate care to patient's and their families during the final stages of their life.
Description
Encompass Health Hospice is looking for Direct patient care and Administrative support volunteers to provide services to patients during their final stages of life. Volunteers provide non-medical services and respite time for caregivers and family members as well as clerical support for the administrative staff. As a hospice volunteer you will be given a choice as how much time you wish to donate and what type of services you would like to provide.
A few ways you can help as a hospice volunteer is by running errands for patients and families, playing games or reading with patients, walking and caring for family pets, or even creating a photo album of the patient and their family.
