Volunteer Opportunities-

Patient Care- Offer companionship and support to hospice patients and their families, including social visits, music therapy, reading, playing games, or writing a personal/family history.

Respite Care- Relieve caregivers who are physically and emotionally exhausted from providing care for a loved one. This allows a caregiver to leave the home to run errands, go to an appointment, out with friends, or just have some time alone.

Bereavement Support- Provide support to families and help them through the death and grieving process. This could include working closely with the social workers and chaplains to facilitate group meetings, memorial services, and follow up calls to families. Additionally, we offer hand molds of patients as well as memory bears. If you have crafty talents such as plaster work, ceramics, or sewing, this would be a great way to volunteer your time and talents.

Office Support- If visiting patients is not something you would be interested in, we also have volunteers that offer administrative support to the hospice staff. This could include addressing and sending out sympathy cards, assembling admission packets, calls to patients, and assisting with various hospice events.
