Volunteer Services
Hospice volunteers play an important role in hospice care. Patient care volunteers spend their days at a patient’s home, though they don’t provide any medical or hands-on care. They are there to spend time with the patient, talking with them, and keeping them company.
Volunteers also do activities like playing the patient’s favorite games with them, watching movies, or talking with patients about things they are interested in.
