Caring For Someone Who Is Coping With A Life-Threatening Illness Can Be Hard.
Caring for someone at home can be an overwhelming experience. Self care for caregivers is an important part of ensuring the best care for your family member. Volunteer visits can provide you with a time for regular chores, errands, or self care while providing the assurance that your family member has knowledgeable and trained support available.
All of our programs and services are offered free of charge to our clients and their families.
Volunteer Visits
Your loved one can be matched one on one with a highly trained volunteer, allowing you a period of rest. All Hospice Volunteers submit to a rigorous screening process and receive 35-hours of professional training before they can be matched with a client. Hospice Volunteers are an integral and valued member of your health care team.
