Hospice patient care
training enables men and women to help people in their community.
The goal of care is excellent quality of life for those who are
nearing the end of life and their caregivers. Volunteers provide
regular visits and emotional support so caregivers can take a break,
do errands, make special appointments, go out for a meal with
friends or take a nap. Volunteers provide companionship visits for
people who reside in nursing homes or have been admitted to local
hospitals. They accompany families who need support during the dying
process. To provide this care, volunteers learn about
communication and support techniques, family dynamics, simple
bedside care giving strategies, local resources and team
care. Registration form and an interview are required. Call
667-2531. $35.00 registration fee.
