Volunteers

Hospice care in the U.S. was founded by volunteers. Volunteers add a special dimension to the care and comfort provided to our patients and their families. These caring individuals are specially trained and are often called the Heart of Hospice, exemplifying the spirit and commitment of Golden Rule Hospice.

Some of the services that our volunteers provide include:

Art & music therapy.
Administrative support
Bereavement Support
Caregiver Support
Companionship for patients
Pet therapy
Patient care assistance
Spiritual care

While we certainly enjoy and appreciate volunteers who wish to share their unique talents and gifts, the most important quality in a volunteer is having the “heart of a servant” and a willingness to help those in need.

Vivian R is my Dad's Hospice CNA, and has been taking care of my Dad for a month now. It (Vivian's help) has been wonderful for my Mom who is overwhelmed with all this. Vivian emits confidence and intelligence in her care of my father who is now bed bound and mostly sleeping. She collaborates with my Dad's private duty CNAs, and her knowledge and bedside manner rubs off on them. Golden Rule has been great, from the time Diana RN met with us and admitted Dad, to the consistency of care provided from his primary Hospice Nurse, Penny.

We've just started hospice Care for dad about 10 days ago. Don't know where to start so I'll start with Chris are Nurse. Outstanding communications never fails to respond to text or calls. Whether prescriptions or supplies he's on top of it. Kiera and Joe visited and I swear this happened. Joe asked dad what has kept him going for 89 years. Dad said family and watching nature out his back sliding glass door. Less than 2 minutes later a Doe and fawn walked by. Joe and Kiera couldn't believe it. Dad said "see what I mean". He has really improved with moms' constant care. 12 days ago in the hospital he was close to leaving us. I know this is a short time so far and who know how things will go but we are having more time with Pop than i ever thought we would Thank You Clay

Words can not express how grateful our family is for Golden Rule Hospice. From the first meeting with Dennis until the end of my mother's life, they were the most fantastic group of people!The care and love that our mother received during the last ten months of her life was exceptional.Penny, my mother's nurse, is one of the most amazing women I have ever known. She is a compassionate and caring nurse who loves her job and her patients. Penny was always there to answer any of our family's questions and quickly came up with solutions. She not only cared for my mother, but she listened to the life stories that my mom loved to share. She held my mom's hand and would give her a big ol' hug. She provided excellent care and respected my mom's wishes, even until the end. Penny is like a family member, and we all love her!Chaplain Joe was there to offer the spiritual support my mom and family needed, but he gave so much more of himself. Joe loves like Jesus. My mom loved sharing her faith with all that would listen, and Joe would undoubtedly listen. I can not imagine going through the experience of losing my mother without the support of Chaplain Joe. Our family will never forget the kindness Joe showed our mom and us!Every contact we had from Golden Rule Hospice was outstanding, but a few went above and beyond during this very emotional time of our lives. Thank you to Kiera for reaching out and ensuring our needs were met at all times. Thank you to Sunday for your gentleness with our mom during those last days. And last but certainly not least, thank you to Caroline for taking such loving care of mom and making sure her earthly body was at its best in those final days. Mama was always a classy lady, and you wanted to make sure that she lived up to that until the end.Everyone we dealt with at Golden Rule Hospice has earned a place in our hearts forever! Thank you for everything!

This company made the loss of our father a much less stressful situation than it could have been. They were incredibly compassionate and kind and RESPONSIVE.The nurses were kind and very helpful. We knew exactly what to look for throughout the process.And Chaplain Joe has become a family favorite and in fact, we have reached out to him as we mourn the loss of another family member.Do not hesitate to call this wonderful group of people if you’re experiencing a loss. Your loved one will appreciate the care they receive and you will not believe how light your burden can be made.

Well…I don’t know how my grandson’s name is on this post and I can’t seem to change it. I’m actually 70 and really want everyone to know how pleased we have been with Golden Rule Hospice group. We have used them twice now when we needed help with my husband’s parents that moved in with us almost two years ago now. Mom passed with cancer last year and Golden Rule brought us through by seeing to it that every need was taken care of in detail. I am a retired nurse, but I can’t tell you how invaluable their attention to ALL of our needs meant to us…I did not expect the relief I felt knowing we had their total support — spiritually, caregiving supplies, equipment and meds without delay, delightful caregivers, phone conversations, on-call/after-hour calls, insightful experienced advice, right down to taking care of the funeral home arrangements the night she passed. So it’s no wonder we immediately asked for their services again with Dad, even though he has pulled through and is doing well now.Just can’t say enough … call Golden Rule Hospice!

Such a great experience with Golden Rule Hospice! The whole staff is so helpful and wonderful about giving updates. Everyone who cared for my mother did their job professionally as well as being friendly and easy to talk to. So very thankful for all of the services including social worker, nurses, CNAs, pastors and office staff among others. It is comforting to know you have a team to help your loved one and their family. Our family cannot thank Golden Rule enough.

My experience with all of these lovely and caring people was beyond exceptional! Our nurse Penny, Minnie, Chaplain Joe, Kiera, and others showed so much compassion as my husband fought so hard from Cancer. I never had to worry about someone answering my calls in minutes to medicine getting delivered in record time. I will always have these people as friends and will always carry them in my heart. Excellent service with excellent compassion for their families!
