Stein Hospice cares for terminally ill people who live in senior care facilities and private homes throughout Central NJ. Currently we need volunteers who will become steady friendly visitors to patients in Skillman, Princeton and Monroe. If you are compassionate and want to make a difference in someone's day, this is a great volunteer opportunity. You can brighten a patient's life by reading aloud, playing music, holding someone's hand, and sharing your passion and listening to theirs.
