Volunteers will visit patients in their homes, which may include assisted living and nursing facilities. Reading, singing, watching TV programs/movies, sit at bedside, and light house work are some of the functions that volunteers provide for our patients. If any of these duties interest you in helping a hospice patient through their journey please contact us.
We are also seeking volunteers to provide support for our office staff in administrative or clerical capacities. This may include filing, data entry, and assistance with mailings and putting packets together.
We serve Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, Cedar Park, West Lake, Lake Way, Buda, Taylor, Hutto, Bastrop , and other surounding areas.

Mission Statement For each employee to treat every patient as their own treasured loved one, providing care that affords a quality of life that outweighs quanity of days, and supports caregivers as their heart find healing.
Description
Hospice Volunteers provide companionship to our patients and their families. They may visit with patients, read, sing or watch movies with patients. Hospice volunteers find it personally gratifying, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally meaningful to assist those in need at a critical point in their lives. Many of our volunteers are introduced to hospice thorough the death of a family member and understand firsthand the value of hospice care, but nearly 20% of volunteers are new to hospice. Volunteers consistently report that helping the terminally ill through hospice is not about dying but about living.
