Aging and terminal illness is often a very isolating and lonely process. As a Companionship Volunteer you work as a major member of our team to help meet this need. When providing companionship volunteer services you may simply sit at bedside, read a book, reminisce, watch a western, do a jigsaw puzzle, perhaps play a hand of cards, or simply sit on the front porch drinking sweet tea with a new found friend.

About Amedisys Hospice Care

Location:

2101 Clinton Ave. W, Suite 401, Huntsville, AL 35805, US

Mission Statement

At Amedisys Hospice we honor those we serve with compassionate home health, hospice, and personal care services that apply the highest quality clinical practices toward allowing our patients to maintain a sense of independence, quality of life, and dignity.

Description

Hospice is a type of specialized care for people who have terminal illness that is no longer responding to medical treatment or intervention. Rather than trying to cure the disease, we focus on pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and help for families and caregivers.

Hospice volunteers are a special group of people that give of their time and talents to help patients and their families. They are available to visit with you and help run errands. They can also assist with daily activities and may read, sing, write letters, or just reminisce with you and your loved ones. Their support enhances the quality of life for patients and helps relieve some of the demands that are often placed on caregivers.
