Lexington Hospice is looking for Hospice Volunteers to help provide comfort and meaningful connections to our patients and their families at end of life. We are currently looking for individuals who would be willing to visit patients in the following areas; LaGrange, Orland Park, Chicago Ridge, Lombard, Elmhurst, Schaumburg, Bloomingdale and Lake Zurich.
If you love being a comforting and supportive presence, reading to patients, playing music, providing support to family caregivers so they may run an errand or complete a simple task, then this is a great way for you to get involved.
We are also looking to support our office with volunteers who would be willing to help with coping, faxing, photocopying, packet assembling, event planning and other special projects.
Volunteers contribute to every facet of Lexington Hospice Services. We welcome you to come be a part of our Hospice team.

Mission Statement
Lexington Hospice focuses on enhancing quality of life while preserving dignity for end of life needs. We provide care, compassion and support for patients and their loved ones.
Description
Hospice is a special way of caring for patients and families when illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatment. Hospice is a special way of caring for patients experiencing a life-limiting illness and is a way of living as well as a plan of care. The Lexington hospice team of physicians, nurses, volunteers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, and social workers partner with the patient and the patient's family to develop a plan of care that is right for the patient. Lexington respects the patient's individuality. We support the patient's freedom of choice plus the need to preserve dignity and to retain control of life.
