AseraCare Hospice Volunteer
AseraCare Hospice is
Seeking Volunteers
Are you a licensed barber, or nail
technician? Or certified to provide Healing Touch or massage?
Do you enjoy reading to others,
playing a musical instrument, listening to music, watching videos, playing
cards. Or working with arts and crafts?
Would you want to share your time
by helping others with minor chores like picking up their mail, doing light
housekeeping jobs or filling their bird feeder?
Would you be interested to hear
someone share the story of their life with you?
What do volunteers
do?
- Visit patients and families, and provide a
“listening ear”
- Run errands, such as grocery shopping
- Provide respite relief for family caregivers
for brief periods of time
- Listen to patients’ remembrances
- Read or write letters for patients
- Hold a hand
- Give a Hug
- Offer support to the family after the patient’s
death
How much time must I
give?
We like for volunteers to give at least two
hours of support each week, but you dictate the amount of time you have to give.
Any time that you spend with a patient contributes to his or her quality of life
and provides much needed support to the family.
