Research has shown that hospice programs with more volunteer involvement report higher levels of patient satisfaction. Why? Because volunteers can take the time to listen and be a comforting and supportive presence. Volunteers offer much-needed empathy and compassion at end of life…priceless. In addition to direct patient support, volunteers serve in the hospice office or find ways to work from home to create meaningful experiences for hospice patients and families.
Volunteering is a two-way street. Not only does it help those served, but a giving spirit benefits their own well-being. Volunteering helps to counteract the effects of stress, anger, anxiety, combats depression, increases self-confidence, and provides a sense of purpose…priceless
April is National Volunteer Month and Homeland is very grateful to all volunteers who selflessly share their time and talents.
Your choice. Our privilege.
