Do you have that SPECIAL dog? The one that EVERYONE loves? The one that has an intuitive sense about what people need? Dogs connect with our patients in ways that we can't! We need human volunteers along with their faithful canines to make visits to our patients at memory care units, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities and sometimes even private homes. The required human training is provided through Compassus Hospice & Palliative Care; the required pet therapy training is provided through Alliance of Therapy Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Inc. or another certifying organization. Or better yet, maybe your dog is already certified! Humans only -- please call Nancy for more information: 719-960-7722 Or apply online at: compassus.com Hospice volunteer orientation, as well as a background check and TB testing -- all provided free of charge. Next orientation is Saturday 4/20/24. Please call soon!

Are you a special someone who can provide a compassionate presence at the bedside of someone who's dying? This is an opportunity to provide a most amazing service to our patients at the very end of life who might have no one to sit with them; to our families who would like company and support at the bedside of their loved ones at the final moments; and to facility staff who are simply too busy to sit with the dying patients but want to assure that their patients have someone by their side. We are looking for volunteers to join our 11th Hour / Vigil Volunteer team. 11th Hour volunteers are available to sit bedside with our patients who are actively dying in shifts of 1-4 hours. The 11th Hour volunteers provide support, in shifts, over a period of 24 hours or up to several days. So being an 11th hour volunteer does not require a regular schedule of visits for patients; instead, 11th hour volunteers provide intermittent visits over short, but intense periods of time often in the evening or late night. It's a unique and special type of person who wants to do this kind of compassionate work. We'll train you to feel comfortable and confident while you are volunteering with our patients. For more information, please call Nancy at 719-960-7722. Next orientation is Saturday, 4/20/24. Please call soon!

As part of our commitment to the We Honor Veterans program (a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization), we are looking for military veterans to serve as volunteers and provide companionship to our patients who are also veterans. Called the Veteran-to-Veteran volunteer program, we need you to provide that special camaraderie that only YOU can provide for our veteran patients. Shared experiences, a common language, and a bond that only veterans have together is what some of our patients need most of all. If you are a veteran and want to learn more about our volunteer program, please call 719-960-7722. Call soon!
