Are you and your therapy animal certified pet therapists/animal-assisted therapists? Cadence Hospice, a Traditions Health company, is looking for certified pet therapists who are willing to volunteer their time with hospice patients. Traditions Health, in Orange, CA., provides hospice services to patients across Orange County, parts of San Bernardino County, and parts of the Inland Empire, wherever the patient calls home. Patients may reside in their own home or care facility. A visit from a therapy dog can be so beneficial for patients in their end-of-life journey. The extra attention and unconditional love would go a long way in providing joy and comfort.
Hours are very flexible- weekdays, evenings, or weekends available. Any time that you have available can benefit the lives of those who need it most during this difficult time in their lives. Please respond to our ad for more information on how to get started. We need you!
