JSSA Hospice, a nonprofit that cares for patients in hospice care and their families is seeking volunteers to provide in-home haircuts to patients throughout Montgomery County. Volunteers must be licensed cosmetologists and have proof of current influenza immunization. Hospice Volunteers play an important role as part of JSSA Hospice’s interdisciplinary team by supporting a patient and their family at end of life. Whether this is done remotely or in person, hospice volunteers enhance the experience of patients and families with their compassion and supportive presence. They are vital in observing and noting signs of physical and emotional change in patients that the nursing, social work and spiritual care coordinators need to know, in order to provide the highest possible level of care. Volunteers provide in person visits from initial admission to our service, to the last days and hours of life, sitting with patients and families, to ensure they are never alone. They bring comfort, respite, and companionship at a time when a compassionate presence is critically needed. Licensed cosmetologist volunteers play a unique role in ensuring the dignity of the patient, bringing joy and promoting their self-esteem. After going through an orientation, volunteers would work with a coordinator to schedule a time to visit a patient. Patients will generally be in a bed or reclining in a chair and most patients are unable to leave their home to get a haircut due to their health status. We are looking for all hospice volunteers but need Cosmetologist volunteers throughout the county, including private homes, senior living facilities and nursing homes. We serve a very diverse population of patients and their families in all areas of Montgomery County, and we look forward to hearing from you!
