Volunteer with Hospice!
Hospice is about quality of life.
Hello amazing you! Are you are searching for a way to make a positive difference in the lives of others? This is a great opportunity to bring in your open heart and compassionate presence!
You can be a source of support to those in the final part of their journey. Signature Hospice invites you to share your compassionate heart with patients and families in your community. Many of our patients will benefit greatly from your authentic presence.
The Hospice Companion Volunteer - Companionship is many things -- playing music, reading prayer, poetry, stories, enjoying pet videos, watching a movie together, bringing in nature, or holding a hand in gentle silence. Your presence will also act as an advocate for those who are unable to let their needs known, or for example, may just need help finding the remote to watch their favorite show. Hospice is about quality of life in each moment. You can help bring in this quality. You time of service will be 1-4 hours a week.
The first step is to contact me and meet at your favorite coffee shop where we'll talk about hospice and what volunteering entails. Let's start the conversation.
