Come and join our team of companions, musicians, artists and pets
Do you enjoy having conversations and have a compassionate listening ear?

We love connecting volunteers with our patients!

Loneliness can be a problem for older people, especially when they're in a facility. Their children may have moved away. Spouses and friends may themselves be too frail to visit.

Comfort Life Hospice offers volunteer companions to all patients that we serve.
Start conversations with patients, play music, watch movies, play games, or simply be a supportive presence. Companions are a crucial part of the social/emotional support needed for those who have a terminal diagnosis. The relationships that develop between patients, their families and volunteers prove to be rewarding for everyone involved.

About Comfort Life Hospice

Mission Statement

Comfort Life Hospice values patient care and believes in the philosophy that end of life care should be carefree and painless.

Description

Our founders have been in the healthcare field for over a decade across various types of care, including assisted living communities, nursing homes, hospitals and home health.

We began Comfort Life Hospice because we want to manage all aspects of our patients’ healthcare journey, and we believe that by providing hospice, we can manage our patients’ health and well being from beginning to end. This means we truly know each patient and his/her individual needs so that we can ensure the most tailored and focused care.

Certified by The Joint Commission, we prioritize our patient and their family’s needs to create a comfortable environment that values the gift of life and the transitioning stage to what comes next.
