Rivercross Healthcare is seeking bedside vigil volunteers to provide support to patients and families in the last days as patients transition. Bedside vigils can assist with running errands for family members, providing relief so they know the patient isn't alone, provide a listening ear for loved ones of the patient, and other various tasks. The most important part of being a bedside vigil volunteer is to ensure the patient is in a comfortable and quiet environment. The volunteer should encourage the family to play soft music for the patient, talk in soft tones, and make other suggestions to ensure the patient has a peaceful transition from this life into the next.

About Rivercross Hospice

Location:

611 E. William, Wichita, KS 67202, US

Mission Statement

Rivercross Hospice is dedicated to providing and promoting the best quality of care for patients and families facing end-of-life issues.

Description

What is Hospice?

Hospice manages pain, controls symptoms, and understands that emotional and spiritual stresses are as significant as physical pain.

The Hospice Team supports and comforts terminally ill patients and their loved ones. Hospice is not about death, but rather about the quality of life as it nears its end. It is not a place to send people to die and it is not about last-minute hospital care.

Rivercross Hospice treats the whole person, not just the disease, providing care for the mind, body and spirit. The Hospice Benefit is not just for the patient. We also provide care and support for the family and loved ones during their time of need.

Hospice offers dignified living at the end of life.
