We are seeking caring, driven companionship volunteers for Hospice patients in the Greater Cleveland area-- specifically Geauga & Eastern Lake Counties. A companionship volunteer provides comfort and emotional support to patients by making visits to them at their place of residence. This could include, listening, reading, doing activities or simply being present. Hospice is a special kind of caring. Hospice care is patient and family centered, and seeks to provide support and comfort to those facing a life limiting illness. Volunteers play a large role in this effort by sharing their skills and interests in a manner that enriches the quality of life for those they serve. Nationally, over 100,000 people serve as hospice volunteers and give millions of hours of their time to serve terminally ill patients and their families.

Ohio Living Home Health Hospice is in search of certified Therapy Dogs and Owners Ohio Living values the importance of pet therapy and the health benefits that pets can provide. Did you know that just a few moments of stroking the fur of a pet therapy animal can initiate a reaction in the body that leads to decreased loneliness, depression and agitation as well as increased social interaction, nutrition intake and sense of well being. Unfortunately, too often our patients are unable to have a pet within their home, nursing home, assisted living or group home in which they reside. If you have a certified therapy pet, please consider volunteering for Ohio Living Home Health & Hospice!

This is accomplished by building a team around the patient and family that includes clinical professionals, trained caregivers and volunteers. The team focuses on the physical symptoms, as well as emotional and spiritual concerns for the patient and their family members. We enable our patients to make decisions about how they want to live out their remaining days and create memories for those who remain behind. We encourage patients to share their goals for life with us. In turn, we work with them to make those goals a reality. Our hospice team works together to provide counseling, education and support, focusing on giving the patient control in determining their physical, mental and spiritual needs. Then the hospice team, along with the patient and family members, develop a holistic care plan that includes pain management, symptom control and bereavement support.
