Silver Spring, MD, United States Holy Cross Home Care and Hospice Full time

A hospice volunteer is someone who provides support and companionship to patients who are in the end-of-life stage. Hospice volunteers work alongside the hospice team to help improve the quality of life for patients by providing emotional support, companionship and assistance with daily tasks such as running errands or light housekeeping. They may also engage in activities such as reading, playing music, or simply listening to the patient's stories and providing a comforting presence. Additionally, hospice volunteers offer respite care for family members and caregivers, allowing them time for self-care or other activities. Hospice volunteers are an integral part of the hospice team, providing compassionate care and support to patients and their loved ones during a difficult time.
