How Hospice Volunteers Can Help You
Having a serious illness in the family makes it harder to get necessary things done, both the usual household responsibilities and those tasks pertaining directly to the sick person. This is where a volunteer can help. These are some ways you might use a volunteer:- Transportation of a client
- Companion for client when you are away
- Shopping for family
- Delivering medication to the home
While in your home, a volunteer could help in some of these ways:
- Talking with the client - just listening might be the most important job our volunteers can do
- Preparing a light meal
- Reading aloud anything the client wishes to hear
- Writing letters as a client dictates
- Simply being there to respond to the client’s requests while family members nap or run errands
