Hospice can be a very rewarding experience. It allows the volunteer to build relationships and gain experience.
Task include providing companionship for hospice patients. This will vary depending on the patient and their needs and interest. However, it usually includes conversation, reading to, playing music, polishing nails, etc.
We ask for a minimum of one hour a week.
Locations vary depending on location and patient needs. Some patients are in nursing facilities and others are in their home.
We are also open to discussing internship programs with the universities and students.
