Your presence can make a significant difference to a Lily Hospice patient who is terminally ill. At Lily Home & Hospice, we strive to make the end of life as comfortable as possible for those we visit by providing care that is personalized for each individual. We emphasize our patient’s quality of life instead of the duration and strive to make this experience more inclusive rather than isolated. Many hospice patients need and want someone to spend time with, and we are looking for compassionate, dedicated volunteers to give them that most basic of needs - human connection. Lily Hospice volunteers provide comfort and support through companionship, finding meaning in every moment. As a volunteer, you might spend time just talking, sharing stories and memories, listening to music or watching a movie, playing games, assisting with an activity or other non-medical tasks. There are also times to simply sit quietly with a patient to let them know they are not alone. We take our mission seriously, but we also have fun while partnering with our patients on their journey. At Lily Hospice, we care for our patients in the comfort of their home. For some, home might be a private residence, while others might reside in an assisted living or nursing home/health center. Visitors are needed throughout the Chippewa Falls area. We do take into account your location to assign visits that are within or near your own community. Our Commitment to You A flexible schedule at a location that is convenient for you Consistent & accessible staff support Provided PPE & infection control training Ongoing guidance & education to ensure that you are comfortable in your role This volunteer opportunity is available through our Eau Claire office. Contact Dawn, Volunteer Services, at 715-201-2233 or dbriskey@lilyhospice.net for more information on becoming a Hospice Companion. You can also find us at www.lilyhospicewi.com.

Do you have a certified therapy dog, cat, or other small animal? If so, we are looking for you to join our " Fur-Get-Me-Not Friends" Program at Lily Hospice! The most frequent request made by Lily Hospice patients is for a visit from a furry pal. We recognize how important Animal-Assisted Therapy (sometimes called "pet therapy") visits can be to hospice patients. Not only are these visits a welcome distraction from daily routine, but they give patients an opportunity to reminisce about their own beloved pets. For those patients who are a little more withdrawn, therapy animals provide affection without the need for conversation. We often hear hospice patients and their families remark that the therapy animal visits are the highlight of a patient's day or week. At Lily Hospice, our staff loves and appreciates our volunteers. We welcome your and your dog, cat, rabbit or other small animal. ALL animals must have proof of therapy animal certification prior to visiting Lily Hospice patients. Our commitment to you: a flexible schedule at a location that is convenient for you, consistent and accessible staff support from our hospice staff team, training in working with people in hospice, many of whom live with dementia, ongoing guidance and education to ensure that you are comfortable with each assignment. This opportunity is available through our Eau Claire office. For more information about the Lily Hospice Fur-Get-Me-Not Friends Program, contact Dawn, Volunteer Coordinator at 715-492-2633 or dbriskey@lilyhospice.net.
