One of the primary goals of Fairview Hospice is to minimize pain and discomfort while offering guidance and support to both the patients and families we serve during the final phases of life. Volunteers are an integral part of our organization and enable us to better provide this support. Providing care in either the patient s home or a nursing home.
Volunteers offer emotional support to patients and their families.
Assisting with errands in or out of the home. Assist our Bereavement Coordinator with follow-up calls to the caregiver for 13 months after the death. Volunteers can offer emotional support as well as supply the bereaved with information on grief support groups or other related information. Assist with office related duties, such as typing, filing, labeling, organizing. If you are looking for a rewarding experience, can commit to an average of 2 to 4 hours a week, live in the twelve county Metro area or Princeton, and are willing to complete a comprehensive free training program, we would love to talk with you.
