Pullman Senior Center offers a variety of programs and services for senior citizens. Therapeutic Swim Program allows seniors with disabilities an opportunity to experience increased mobility in a pool. These participants offer respite, companionship, support, and assistance to terminally ill patients and their families. Clerical participants are encouraged to complete the Hospice training but usually assist with filing, copying, answering the phone, and data entry. Friends of Community Hospice participants support the work of the hospice program as they help plan and staff fund-raising events, record donations, and assist with a quarterly newsletter.
All programs are flexible and the level of commitment required varies with each program.
Hospice of the Palouse offers three programs with variable commitments. Patient care participants provide non-medical services to terminally ill patients and their families. Fundraising participants work with scheduled events such as a Christmas Gift Wrapping Booth, a Food Booth at Latah Fair, and the Tree of Life. Office Support participants assist with special projects as well as monitor volunteer hours and data entry. All programs offer flexible hours.
