Are you a veteran or an active-duty service member, or military reservist? Your presence is deeply needed for our "We Honor Veterans" Program. Be there for your fellow soldier who is now a hospice patient and honor them with a "Veteran to Veteran" pinning ceremony to thank them for their service to our country. We also need volunteers who can provide friendly visits to our Veteran patients. Having that special military bond will help the relationship blossom. We have a great need for your help with this program. No one understands the unique needs of our Veterans better than active or retired military personnel. Volunteer training is provided. For more information and to sign up to volunteer, please visit www.accentcare.com If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Wahrmund at lisawahrmund@accentcare.com

We are in need of compassionate volunteers to provide caregiver relief visits to support the families of our patients. Being a hospice volunteer is simple, yet profoundly rewarding. There is no medical or personal care involved - just caring from the heart!! Caregiver relief visits are based on your availability. This volunteer opportunity allows a patient's caregiver to go to a doctor appointment or run necessary errands so they can continue to take care of themselves while also caring for their loved one. Caregiver relief visits are 1-3 hours and include sitting with the patient to provide a supportive presence, so the patient is not alone while their family member is out of the house. During these visits, you can simply sit with the patient, chat, read, or play cards, checkers, etc. If you are interested in volunteering, please go to our website at www.accentcare.com and fill out an application today.

Some of our patients are spending their final weeks, days and hours of their life alone, without family and friends nearby. Although they become part of our hospice family, these individuals would benefit from your companionship and supportive presence at the end of their life. Vigil Volunteers are trained to support patients in their final hours by holding their hand, providing reassurance, placing a cool washcloth on their forehead, creating a peaceful environment though music and aromatherapy, and offering support throughout their transition. You will receive full hospice training and specialized Vigil Volunteer training. If this sounds like a meaningful opportunity to you, please contact Lisa Wahrmund at lisawahrmund@accentcare.com.
