Homeside Hospice is looking for volunteers to provide companionship to patients in their home or nursing home in Middlesex, Union , Somerset, Monmouth, Hudson and counties. As a companion you will provide a listening ear and a sharing spirit to enhance the patient's emotional and spiritual well-being.
As a volunteer you will provide essential, quality of life services to patients. Your efforts will provide the sort of care and help that a loving friend provides and help insure that the Hospice promise is fulfilled.
Some visits might include reading, watching TV, taking walks, playing music, talking about their life and their family, or shared silence.
Homeside Hospice provides specialized Health care services that focus on symptom control, comfort and support for the terminally ill and their families. Our goal is to provide individuals with the highest possible level of physical, emotional, spiritual and practical support necessary during this time. Owned and operated by nurses, Homeside services consist of a patient-focused interdisciplinary care team of a medical director, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides and volunteers. All decisions regarding patient care are made with the patient's quality of life as the primary goal. Our patient and family support system provides the level of care needed to meet the unique needs of those experience a life-limiting illness. As a small program, we provide the personal touch that has become lost in today's healthcare environment.
