Volunteer: Hospice Volunteer

There for you or your loved ones when you need it most. Most people prefer to receive end-of-life care in the comfort of their own home, but about half of these individuals end up passing in a hospital. Pain or urgent needs often result in unnecessary trips to the emergency room, and typically patients arrive ill, anxious, and uncertain of what's to come. Hospice is a specialized program designed with quality and compassionate care in mind for individuals with a terminal diagnosis. Hospice care focuses on the quality of life, rather than the length, and is provided during the last phases of an individual's illness so they may live as comfortably and pain-free as possible. At its core, hospice care is the belief that every single person has the ability to die with dignity and quality., We are looking for compassionate and caring individuals who are at least 18 years of age to work with patients that have a terminal diagnosis of six months or less. Our volunteer will provide friendly visits, companionship and an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. Please consider joining our team!This is a volunteer opportunity provided by VolunteerMatch, in partnership with LinkedIn for Good.
