How We Help



Person Centered Palliative and Hospice Care

Volunteer Hospice nurses guide patients and their support group through the end-of-life journey. Our on-call nurses are available 24 hours a day to answer questions or make visits, while our nursing staff works with patients and their families to set goals and manage symptoms throughout the hospice service. Our goal is to provide comfort through pain management, offer support and compassionate care, and help maintain patients' dignity and self-determination.

Respite Care with Trained Volunteers

Available to Volunteer Hospice patients and their families, respite care offers short-term relief to caregivers, providing time attend to tasks such as shopping, doctor's appointments, lunch with friends, or relaxation. Respite volunteers do not provide nursing care, but their gentle support makes caregivers' work more sustainable.

Grief Support

Volunteer Hospice offers free grief and bereavement support to patients, their families, and community members, regardless of the circumstances of the death.

Soul Care Program

Open to all in the community and beyond, Volunteer Hospice is launching educational and awareness-raising events to demystify hospice and end of life. The Speaker Series features expert speakers every other month on the topics of death and dying. The monthly Death Cafes allow for informal discussions while providing community support to individuals and normalizing conversations around death and dying.
