Are you a Military Veteranwho would like to compassionately serve as a hospice volunteer, to visit hospice patients who are veterans (or hospice patients who are civilians), who request companionship visits?
During your visits you might: reminisce, look through family photo albums, play a game of cards, go for a walk, or sit in silence and be a comforting presence. Visits take place wherever the patients reside; in their home, Assisted Living, or Nursing Home.
Our volunteers visit patients throughout the greater-Boston area.
Our next training will start in mid-November 2024.
We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support. You can make a meaningful difference in the lives of the patients we serve. If you live in the Greater Boston area, we have patients near you and can arrange timing and visits around your schedule.
