TRAINED VOLUNTEERS

At Homestead Hospice and Palliative Care, our volunteers provide non-medical services to patients and families and assist in a variety of ways. Our Volunteers are an integral part of the care we provide and can help with reading, companionship, writing letters, running errands or just sitting as a companion. Our volunteers continue to express their feelings of joy and inspiration as they make a difference in the lives of the patients and families they help. Volunteers can also provide administrative help to our staff or assist in the communities by helping with activities or providing education on hospice care at local churches, etc.
