We are committed to patient safety and assuring that no patient dies alone. A Vigil Care Volunteer supports the plan of care for the hospice patient, to ensure patient safety and to provide a presence and support to the patient when death is imminent. Vigil Care is implemented to provide support to the caregiver/family members who feel overwhelmed or scared when death of their loved one is imminent. Vigil Care Volunteers may come in hours or days before death. If the vigil is long, the vigil staff and volunteers may take shifts if the patient or family wants someone there continuously. Vigil Care Volunteers are asked to document using volunteer documentation tools. If you think you have what it takes to be a death vigil volunteer, contact us today! Vigil Care may include: Providing a calm physical presence Sitting together Talking and listening Shared silence Healing touch Reading of scripture or inspirational text Requested rituals Inspirational music Physical care by licensed skilled nurses or certified nursing assistants

Do you have a couple of free hours you would like to donate to a hospice patient? Hours are up to you! You can visit once a month, once a week , etc. Visits are important to our hospice patients because staff is the only visit some will get. It also helps the patient's family during a difficult time. During visits you can chat, read books, listen to music, work on puzzles and the list goes on. Please contact me and you can start giving back to a hospice patient!

Would you like to volunteer from your own home? If so, we have the perfect volunteer opportunity. We need help making check-in calls to our hospice patients. Some patients have very little family or friends, so a phone call would be very nice. Would you like to send out greeting cards to a hospice patient or family member? These days everything is online or social media, so getting a nice card in the mail would put a smile on anyone's face. We hope to hear from you about one of these (or both) wonderful opportunities! Contact us today! We look forward to meeting you.
