VOLUNTEER SERVICES

Heritage Hospice Care will provide volunteer services under the direction of a Volunteer Coordinator and with the assistance of the trained volunteers.  

Volunteers may work in a variety of capacities, including;

Patient Care Volunteers - provide personal care and emotional support and practical assistance, which enhance the comfort and quality of life for patients and families/caregivers. These services include being available for companionship, listening, simply "being there", and preparing meals. Patient care volunteers may also provide relief for caregivers or assist them with household chores.

Bereavement Volunteers - provide anticipatory counseling and bereavement support to families/caregivers.
