Service Details
Description:
Our Hospice Volunteer Visiting Program is Hospice volunteers who are specially trained, caring, dedicated people who offer their knowledge, experience and support to help the client and their family through a life-threatening or end-of-life journey. Volunteers act as a member of the interdisciplinary team as an adjunct to nursing or home support visits. They provide non‐medical emotional, social, and spiritual support to individuals, their families and caregivers who are facing advanced illness and death.
