ORGANIZATION: WesleyLife Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
WesleyLife Hospice is looking to add friendly and compassionate individuals to give the gift of time and presence through visits. Our patients need companionship more than ever. Finding common interests through conversation, listening to cherished memories, holding a hand, playing a game, or taking a stroll are all things you could do to brighten someone's day. By providing this extra companionship at the end stage of life, volunteers can touch the hearts of our patients and even change their life - or your own!

Mission Statement
Guided by Christian compassion, we support the independence, health and well-being of older adults wherever they call home.
Description
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a life of continued growth, experience, engagement, and meaning, regardless of physical, social, or economic circumstances. Aging is an opportunity. The second half of life can be the best half!
Our comprehensive network of services is designed to fulfill the wishes of older adults to remain independent and active wherever they choose to live. Because we have a vision of transforming the aging experience, we focus not on limitations, but on possibilities.
We strive to be the thread that leads families to better solutions and binds them with the strength and support they need to maintain loving and healthy relationships. At WesleyLife, we celebrate a spirit for living!
