Hospice Care in Your Home
Community & Supportive Care
Living with a terminal illness can be an isolating experience and caring for someone can be challenging for a loved one. Our Volunteer Visiting Program provides companionship, comfort, and practical support for the person living with a terminal illness as well as respite care for their caregivers and family.
Trained, caring, and dedicated volunteers visit the person living with a terminal illness in their home or for outings in the community. Using a confidential and thorough intake process we ensure that you, or your loved one, is matched with a volunteer who can support your unique needs.
Clients and their volunteers enjoy activities such as:
Companionship in the home:
Conversation
Reading
Watching movies
Legacy work (photo albums, videos, etc.)
Outings in the community:
Walks
Trips to appointments
Activities (coffee, shopping, etc.)
