At Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, we believe hospice is not a place, but rather a philosophy of care. Our goal is to bring dignity and comfort home by offering compassionate care to patients and their families during the final stages of life.
About hospice care
Hospice is a philosophy of care that places importance on the comfort of every patient living with a terminal illness. Our coordinated team of caring professionals is dedicated to providing physical, spiritual and emotional support to patients and their loved ones.
Hospice volunteers are compassionate individuals who provide comfort and support to patients facing a life-limiting illness. Volunteers offer specialized skills and support outside of the clinical team.
There is no one-size-fits-all to what makes a hospice volunteer. Some volunteers participate because they want to give back to the community or they might have a special talent that brings joy to others. However, each volunteer makes a significant impact on patients and their families.
What does a hospice volunteer do?Volunteers ensure that the patient and family’s needs are met in a variety of ways. This can be through companionship, assisting with everyday tasks or providing respite time to a patient’s caregivers. Hospice volunteers can also make an impact by assisting the hospice agency with administrative duties.
This can look like:
- Sitting with a patient, socializing and providing a listening ear
- Helping with general office support (filing, shredding, etc.)
- Running errands for patients and families
- Writing a journal or life story with patients as a memento for the family
- Playing games, reading or listening to music with patients
- Walking or caring for family pets
- Assisting with light house cleaning
- Providing bereavement support for family members
