Visit patients in the community and read a book, play games, listen and talk about their day, sing, deliver flowers, run errands, there are so many opportunities! Volunteering to visit hospice patients allows the patient to have a friend outside of their family. You can offer them support, companionship, socialization, and family relief.
Many hospice patients live without seeing their family often. Someone may have a family that lives out of state or are disabled and do not have the transportation to see their family member. Visiting these patients gives them comfort and happiness that someone is there to talk and spend time with them when no one else can.
Several other patients live at home with a full-time caregiver, but many caregivers and family members do not want to leave the patient by themselves at home to run errands. Seeing a patient when the family member is close allows the caregiver to leave the home without any stress. Of course, it also makes the patient happy to have someone new to come see them and retell their stories, play games, or read. You can also run errands for caregivers that want to stay home with their loved one!
