Companionship/Respite Visit with Hospice patient
ORGANIZATION: Well Care Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
Female hospice patient living in Advance NC needs a volunteer to sit and talk with her. She enjoys talking about her past and about planting flowers. She loves to give advice as this gives her a feeling of self worth. Her caregiver would like a 1.5-2 hour visit on Thursdays at 10:30 am to allow her to go pick up groceries and to pick up lunch for the patient at her favorite resturant. Patient is able to walk with a walker and able to feed herself. Sometimes she just isn't in the mood to talk but caregiver would still like someone to sit with her so that she is not left unsupervised. She has dementia but does remember her past well and enjoys talking about her childhood memories and memories from work. Volunteers with us do not provide hands on patient care but more of a friend relationship.
