I've been volunteering with Sunrise for a year now and I can wholeheartedly say that I wouldn't have spent my senior year before college any other way. I know most people may wince at the idea of volunteering for hospice, but when you really consider the work your doing and the importance of it, its not a hard decision to make. The people I've met, patients and employees alike, have been more friendly, compassionate, and interesting than I could have imagined, making my time with Sunrise that much more enjoyable. Beyond that, the volunteer coordinator, Mick Parisi, has been an amazing friend and beyond exceptional mentor. I couldn't have asked for a better supervisor. I thank Mick for not only this amazing opportunity to gain new insight and experience in the world of patient care, but more importantly the opportunity to affect lives and be affected in turn. It has truly been a life changing experience.

I've been volunteering with Sunrise Hospice Care for over 3 years now, on and off with school. Truthfully speaking, in the beginning I was afraid of what I would see but still tried in an effort to see beyond my fears. Unexpectedly I met really great individuals with beautiful souls and some who have really touched my heart. It has been a very rewarding and fulfilling experience for me over the years. It has helped me be more grateful for things taken for granted and learn how to be more empathetic towards others. It has also humbled me with the realization that simply companionship can become the only thing we want in the end. I would definitely recommend this place especially because the people working there are so friendly and professional. They are very appreciative of their volunteers and their work is commendable because they truly make lives better.

I volunteered with sunrise for about 7 months. My experience with them has been very pleasant. Being able to brighten up someones day during their final months of life has been a very positive experience. My patient was always very grateful for my visits and I could tell they really made her happy. The employees at sunrise were always very polite and friendly. Overall I had a good experience with them.

I found Sunrise Hospice through volunteermatch.com. There was no doubt in my mind that this is something that I wanted to do. I was able to get involved and honestly found it to be one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I developed such a genuine and loving relationship with my patients and their families, and was able to brighten the day of someone who is going through the unimaginable. It warms my heart to know that my presence and compassion alone can bring so much joy to a person's life. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful opportunity, and encourage anyone who has a passion for helping those in need. Sunrise Hospice is very professional and making visits is very easy. They truly appreciate the work you do, and do their best to make sure that you are paired with great patients. The bond and friendship that you will have with your patients is priceless and one that you will cherish forever.

I will recommend Sunrise Hospice because for the last year that I have been volunteering I been treated with respect and great cordiality. Sunrise Hospice doesn't make me felt pressured to make more visits then I can handle. I enjoy every minute; for they always treat me as part of a team. The volunteer coordinator is very kind and shows gratitude towards my contribution and efforts. Overall Sunrise Hospice is a great place to connect and get to know amazing people. People that are struggling with health concerns and lack of family members or regular visitors. Eldery people are in great need of companionship and a caring heart. Volunteer now, don't hesitate.

I have been volunteering through Sunrise Hospice care for about a year and it helped me grow a lot. Volunteering is a very rewarding experience itself and working with people who value and care for their volunteers is another joy. Also, the company has a very nice volunteer coordinator who is very quick, organized, and kind. I am sure that your warm helping hands will be kindly treated.

Hopefully, they have gotten more organized in the last few months. They treated their volunteers more like employees
