Peaceful Hearts Hospice in Elkhorn seeks kind hearted people who would be willing to deliver a meal and warm wishes to our bereaved families. We provide a complimentary meal to the family after the death of a loved one which provides comfort and TLC. The volunteer would receive a notice about a bereavement meal delivery time and, if they are able to handle that call, would go to the caterer (near 132nd and State) to pick up the meal and then deliver the meal to the family (locations vary - Omaha metro area and surrounding counties). Generally speaking the meals are arranged to be delivered between 5 and 6 PM weekday and on weekends and we usually have 2-4 days notice, sometimes more
Currently, staff make arrangements to perform this role. Volunteers providing occasional assistance would be a great help to staff!

Peaceful Hearts Hospice strives to get back to the original roots of the hospice philosophy by providing individual care with holistic options.

Description
Peaceful Hearts Hospice is locally owned and operated by a social worker and two nurses who all have a passion for end-of-life care and experience working directly in the hospice field. Each client has the right to choose a hospice company that best fits his/her needs, and while there are many hospice companies to choose from, Peaceful Hearts Hospice strives to make sure all our clients feel cared for by providing hospice care the way it was intended. All of the staff at Peaceful Hearts Hospice have a passion for providing hospice care and to take care of our clients as if they were our family.
Our team focuses on modern medicine as well as a holistic approach to hospice care, giving our clients multiple options to provide quality and comfort based on individualized beliefs and needs. We believe education and communication is critical and we strive to keep all those involved in the client’s care educated on the disease progression as well as what to expect as the client declines. Not only does Peaceful Hearts Hospice value excellence in client care but we also take pride in treating our staff well, understanding the importance of self-care and appreciation for our health care workers who make all we do possible.
