Visiting Nurse & Hospice Home needs volunteers

Visiting Nurse & Hospice Home, a locally-based, non-profit hospice and palliative care provider, is looking for volunteers to assist in a variety of ways including gardening, in Hospice Home and in nursing homes.
This special work is for people that seek a meaningful volunteer pursuit and requires individuals that are emotionally mature, comfortable with issues of death and dying, and can work two to four hours per week on a steady basis. Volunteers prepare light meals for patients, assist families and staff, visit with, sing or read to patients, and clerk at the nurses’ station. Volunteers are a vital and essential part of the interdisciplinary team that brings broad end-of-life support to patients and families. Volunteer work in the halls of Hospice Home is needed and greatly appreciated by staff, patients and families. Visiting Nurse & Hospice Home has a well-established volunteer program that provides ongoing support and guidance for the volunteer. A thorough 19-hour training will be held in May.
