You can make a difference when you volunteer with Ohio Living Village Home Health & Hospice!!
Hospice provides special care, comfort and support to those facing a life-limiting illness. Volunteers are a large part of hospice care. Whether assisting with administrative tasks or spending time with patients in their homes, volunteers make an INCREDIBLE difference in the lives of others.
Hospice volunteers can contribute by:
- Providing companionship to patients, such as listening to their stories, playing games, or just being there.
- Documenting memories through scrapbooks, letters, or photobooks.
- Helping the patient or family members with yard work or house work.
- Completing administrative tasks such as phone calls or mailings.
There are endless opportunities! It all depends on your own interests and skills and what you're willing to bring to a patient and/or their family. We appreciate any and all ways you're willing to contribute.
