Hospice Companion: Williamson, Burnet and surrounding areas

It is the end of the year and it is time to give back!

We are looking for wonderful Hospice Companions and you could be one with as little as a few hours a month! Would you like to work in an individual's home or a facility? Would you like to play games or help write biographies? Do you like to sit and enjoy the silence or read out loud to someone with impaired vision? Are you a Veteran who would enjoy chatting with other Veterans?

We offer a variety of exepriences with patients in different locations with individualized needsand allwould benefit from having you enter their life! We have had many volunteers enrich their life with our team and if you believe in the Hospice Mission and Palliative Care, please contact us today!!!

Recent success stories of volunteers:

Two books were written and one published with different patients from a previously inexperienced volunteer. This volunteer has become so experienced and valued with our team and the families of the patients that he was a key speaker at the memorial of his patient.

Many volunteers become deeply connected with families and stay in contact, exchange Holidaycards and help the familywith difficult transitions.

Audiobooks have been delivered and improved the quality of life of a patient to the point where all staff noticed how much happier the patient had become. The individual attention that the volunteer provided made the patient open up that they missed readingso theyfilled the need with audiobooks.

Weekly Bingo to keep a social butterfly involved in the community and less focused on their health.

These are just examples that we have going on currently and would love to have more patients experience similar acts of love and comfort with thoughtful people like you! Contact us today!
