"Hospice exists in the hope and belief that through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and their families may be free to attain a degree of mental and spiritual preparation for death that is satisfactory to them." - National Hospice Organization
The By Your Side program at Elara Caring is designed to help provide extremely individualized care for patients, especially as their needs change. As a By Your Side volunteer with Elara Caring Hospice, you will have the opportunity to provide companionship, presence, and emotional support to patients and their families during these times of increased need, but especially as the patient is identified as imminently passing. This support can look like many different things, including bedside vigiling for patients in facilities and private residences, providing spiritual support to family members, or simply being present and lending an ear. As a volunteer, you truly are by your patient’s side.
Becoming a By Your Side volunteer is easy, all you need is:
- Be 16 years of age or older
- Reliable transportation
- A valid Texas driver’s license or identification card
- An open heart and mind
If you are able to volunteer one hour a week and are interested in what hospice looks like as a volunteer, please reach out to branch Volunteer Coordinator, Grace Sewell, to start your application or have your questions answered.
