Bristol Hospice of Augusta is an organization that provides care, support, and volunteer services for patients who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and their families. We are actively recruiting volunteers for our Augusta, GA office location (Address 119 Davis Road, Suite 1A, Augusta, GA 30907).

Volunteers will go to our patients homes to sit with them while family members perform tasks such as paying bills, shopping for groceries, or taking a well deserved rest from providing care. Things volunteers do can include playing cards or other games and puzzles, reading to them, watching films, talking with patients about their life experiences, trading life stories, and providing a sense of encouragement and human connection as patients and their families navigate this difficult time.

If you have ever been curious about what hospice is and would like to know more, please reach out to us! We'd love to talk with you. Follow this link to learn more: https://www.bristolhospice-volunteer.com/

Mission Statement

Bristol Hospice, LLC, was formed in 2006, focusing on the delivery of hospice services in the geographic areas as identified in the company’s strategic plan. We are graciously committed to our mission that all patients and families entrusted to our care will be treated with the highest level of compassion, respect, and quality of care.

Description

Guided by these values and clinical research, Bristol Hospice is honored to be an innovator; utilizing non-pharmacological methods of comfort and going above and beyond what is expected by hospice care standards, through our specialty care programs.

These Bristol programs, such as "Sweet Dreams" and "Bright Moments" are especially helpful to those struggling with the effects of Alzheimer’s or dementia. Through these programs, we hope to give "Light to Life" for each patient at their end-of-life. In so doing, we have the honor to provide additional methods of care, comfort and support for the patient, their families, caregivers and loved ones.
