Hospice Volunteers Needed

Grace Healthcare Services welcomes your gifts of time and compassion. Whether you choose to work directly with patients and families or to volunteer in one of many other ways, you can make a profound difference in someone’s life, including your own. Volunteers are an integral part of the hospice team.More information on our available volunteer opportunities is below!HOME CARE AND FACILITY PATIENT VISITS Many of our patients are feeling lonely and isolated and requesting companionship and friendly visits. Please consider visiting someone in your area! Vaccination requirements vary depending on facility.PET THERAPYWe are seeking certified pet therapy teams to visit our patients in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Visits from therapy animals provide loving memories and give unconditional love, helping our patients feel connected to a larger world.HOMEMADE GREETING, BIRTHDAY AND HOLIDAY CARDSDo you like to draw or enjoy arts and crafts? Then creating greeting and birthday cards might be for you! Many of our patients are feeling lonely and isolated and would love to receive a handmade card for their birthday, or just to let them know you are thinking of them! We need cards for birthdays, holidays, and just general "thinking of you" cards! This is a great opportunity for all ages!PEN PALS Mail is a high point of the day for so many! Writing letters is a great way to get to know someone and offer socialization from afar. We will assign you to a patient who will enjoy receiving your letters and will love knowing that they are thought of.MESSAGES TO A VETERANMuch like Birthday and Greeting Cards. You can create messages for our Veteran’s thanking them for their service. This can be done by writing a letter or creating a card of thanks.VETERAN VOLUNTEERSVeteran volun
