Hospice volunteers visit Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing facilities to bring comfort to patients and support family members who may be too far away to play an active role in their loved one’s life.
With hospice training, you will find that your skill sets are sharpened and new ones emerge. Hospice volunteers are trained in communication skills, Dementia and Alzheimer's disease, family dynamics and how to make a positive difference for patients and their caregivers. After you complete the required orientation, VITAS-trained volunteers are prepared to visit nursing homes and assisted living facilities to offer companionship, socialization, music, singing, reading, and help patients enjoy activities. Our Paw Pals Pets volunteers bring their Vitas approved pet to visit too.
