Description
As a hospice volunteer, you become a part of a person’s life when you are needed most. That sense of fulfillment is priceless. Hospice of Hope is committed to the provision of compassionate care to our patients and their families. We believe that each individual should be provided the opportunity to move on in a dignified and comfortable manner.
One of the ways we do this is through the help of our amazing volunteers who dedicate their time to make someone’s final days a bit easier by showing them compassion.
Ultimately, hospice care is about providing patients, caregivers, and families with the most comfortable and compassionate end-of-life experience possible. Your responsibilities will vary. In many cases it’s as simple as companionship. Sitting and talking. Listening. Or playing a patient’s favorite music.
You may also assist patients with tasks they can no longer perform for themselves. It may include anything from light household chores to lending emotional support to the patient’s family during this difficult time.
Hospice volunteers know that helping others at the end of their lives is tremendously rewarding. Being part of a hospice team gives you the profound privilege of bringing comfort, peace and care to patients, caregivers, and their families during their transitional journey.
