Life Review Writing Volunteer- Wichita

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Rivercross Hospice

  • 6 people are interested
Image_202111151307

You can imagine after living a full life that one might have lots of stories to tell, right? We are looking for someone who would be able to listen and write patient's stories down. These stories will be given to the patient's family, who will then be able to treasure and re-read their loved one's chapters forever.

FAQ:'s

  1. Do I need to have a computer? Preferably. If you have a lap top, it will be easier to take note of their stories as they talk, organize their stories later on, and then allow you to send the stories to the family.
  2. Can I volunteer around my work/school schedule? Yes. Patients can have visitors throughout the days, evenings and weekends.
  3. How often would I need to volunteer? You can do once a week, biweekly or once a month. As often as you are willing.
  4. How long would I have to commit to volunteering? At least one month.
  5. Is medical training required? No.
  6. Would we have to do any personal care for the patients (including eating, bathing, etc)? No. This is not allowed to be done by our volunteers.
  7. Do we have to be Covid vaccinated? No!
  8. Do we have to have a valid drivers license and car insurance? Yes.

About Rivercross Hospice

Location:

611 E. William, Wichita, KS 67202, US

Mission Statement

Rivercross Hospice is dedicated to providing and promoting the best quality of care for patients and families facing end-of-life issues.

Description

What is Hospice?

Hospice manages pain, controls symptoms, and understands that emotional and spiritual stresses are as significant as physical pain.

The Hospice Team supports and comforts terminally ill patients and their loved ones. Hospice is not about death, but rather about the quality of life as it nears its end. It is not a place to send people to die and it is not about last-minute hospital care.

Rivercross Hospice treats the whole person, not just the disease, providing care for the mind, body and spirit. The Hospice Benefit is not just for the patient. We also provide care and support for the family and loved ones during their time of need.

Hospice offers dignified living at the end of life.
