Share Your Kind Heart with Solace Hospice Patients -- and Bring Your Nail Polish!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Solace Hospice Care, LLC

  • 2 people are interested

Self-care routines are an important part of a healthy mindset -- particularly to those facing a terminal illness. The simple act of painting someone's nails can help a patient feel cared for, relaxed and nourished. This boost can improve mental health as well as visual appearance. If you enjoy painting nails and have a special place in your heart for hospice patients, please join our team! Solace Hospice Care patients live in private homes, nursing facilities and assisted living facilities in St. Louis City, South County, North County, Webster Groves, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Des Peres, Eureka, St. Charles, St. Peters and Lake Saint Louis. We look forward to collaborating with you! Contact Sharon Christopher / Volunteer Coordinator / schristopher@solacehospicecaremo.com for more information.

About Solace Hospice Care, LLC

Location:

14010 Manchester rd, Manchester, MO 63011, US

Mission Statement

Solace Hospice Care was founded on the idea that all patients and their families have the right to be educated and involved in the decisions that determine how their end-of-life journeys look. Our goal is to empower our patients and their families as we walk beside them. We are focused on the people in our community and are committed to the idea that no one should have to die alone. We believe that by providing our patients and families with the tools they need, they can courageously and peacefully walk the end-of-life journey. Many patients and their caregivers will tell you that they wished they would have started hospice sooner. In knowing that, we are dedicated to our mission of education and outreach within our communities. The definition of "solace" emphasizes consolation and comfort. Our goal is to help create an environment that is solace. That is who we are. "The end of life deserves as much beauty, care, and respect as the beginning." - Anonymous
