Volunteer support is an important and valuable benefit of hospice care.
While volunteer support for patients and caregivers is not included in home health benefits, it is actually a large part of the hospice benefit. This difference stands out to patients and families because companionship and support are critical for psychosocial well-being during end-of-life care.
Our volunteers play an important role in the interdisciplinary hospice team that also includes physicians, nurses, social workers, clergy, administrators and various therapists that provide physical, emotional and spiritual comfort to persons with life-limiting illnesses.
Volunteers allow the caregivers to run short errands, relieve stress on the family, and provide emotional support. Patient care volunteers provide psychosocial support during the remaining days of the patient’s life, while bereavement care volunteers provide psychosocial support to the surviving family following the patient’s death. Additionally, administrative volunteers play an important role in supporting our clinical staff to help facilitate provision of quality and holistic care.
