AseraCare Hospice has an ongoing need for volunteers who fulfill the mission that "no patient dies alone". The volunteer's role is to provide a calming presence for patients who are actively dying, often playing music quietly on a CD or instrument, singing, reading poetry or from scriptures, or just sitting quietly, holding the hand of the patient. Volunteers sit with the patient and family anywhere from 1 to 4 hours and receive training on all aspects of hospice with a special emphasis on the last hours.
