Death Doulas Needed for Hospice Patients

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Suncrest Hospice

  • 2 people are interested
image_20240815150141

Suncrest Hospice is in search of compassionate, professional Death Doulas! We are looking for individuals who want to be part of a support system for our patients and their families as they transition into end-of-life. By providing emotional, spiritual, mental, or physical support, Death Doulas help many with the final transition within life through a variety of ways. Join the Suncrest Hospice team to begin providing a unique aspect of comfort and support for many within the community.

The philosophy of hospice care is to provide comfort and the highest quality of life that one can achieve at the end of life. Through an interdisciplinary team including a nurse, nurse assistant, social worker, chaplain, and volunteer, we help the patient and family walk through their journey.

All of our volunteers are trained to provide companionship, but we are looking for volunteers who are willing to become Death Doulas to families and the entire Suncrest Community. As volunteers are trained in their role with patients, we are required to conduct background checks, drug testing, and TB testing, at no charge to all volunteers.

Description

Hospice is not a "place" but a philosophy. The care provided by Suncrest Hospice does not focus on halting, delaying, or curing of an illness but rather on comfort. At the center of hospice care is the core belief that each of us has a right to die pain-free and with dignity.

Suncrest hospice provides exceptional care to their patients by qualified and compassionate physicians, nurses, aides, social workers, spiritual advisors, and volunteers. Our team is committed to our patients comfort and quality of life while also supporting the patient's family members. Our goal is to manage our patient's pain and symptoms, respond to the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual needs. We also provide education to caregivers on how to better care for our patients. In all of this, the volunteer has the opportunity to play an essential role within the team.
