Caregiver burn out is a real thing. Sadly, it happens to everyone, even loved ones. With hospice volunteer services, we have opportunities where you can provide much needed respite care for a caregiver while they go out for a breath of fresh air, take a nap, go out to eat with friends, and more.
Duration of stay will be approximately 2 hours once a week or biweekly. We are open to most schedules you can suggest as well. Please reach out and be the help someone needs today.

Description
Continuum Hospice started out in 2019 working with patients in Snohomish County. Since then we are very proud to serve King county as well. Our volunteer program is amazing. We match our volunteers with clients depending on their need or desire. We have volunteers who provide companionship with one on one visits, play games such as Bingo, read to patients, life journal, we have a barber, people to do yard work and we even have a handy man. You may have a special skill set you would love to share with your patient. We also have a great Veteran program to meet our Veteran population, from handing out medals and certificates to completing honor ceremonies.
