We are recruiting Veterans to provide conversation and companionship to Veterans in our care. We are looking for individuals who want to visit our patients in local Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, their home or the home of a family member, all places where our Veteran patients reside.
Time commitment is a few hours/month. Varies, and is flexible with your schedule!
Hospice provides physical, emotional and spiritual support for terminally ill patients and their families. All volunteers receive specialized training and ongoing support and are an integral part of the hospice team of caregivers.
