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.
