What Volunteers Can Do
Volunteers are an integral part of hospice care. Volunteers can work directly with patient and families or can give their time administratively in the business office. Volunteers choose what will best fit their needs and personalities to have and provide a successful experience. New England Hospice has had the pleasure of offering many different forms of volunteers such as:
Volunteer Music Therapist, Volunteer Reiki Therapist, Volunteer Veterans, Volunteer Chaplains and a Volunteer Quilting Group
Other special skills and interests are always welcome. If you have an idea or are licensed in a specific field and want to provide your services, please let us know.
Volunteers are asked to give a minimum of 4-6 hours per month, with a commitment of at least 6 months. Volunteers are carefully screened. They receive extensive training, orientation, and support. Visitation is set up at mutually convenient times for the family, patient, and volunteer. Volunteers are needed any day of the week during the morning, afternoon, and evenings.

How Volunteers Impact Our Hospice |
Administratively Help with filing, preparing mailings, admission packets helping with general data entry, writing letters, helping with projects and other clerical duties. Each Patient Provide companionship for the patients by sitting bedside, reading a book or the newspaper, playing music, painting nails, playing puzzles, drawing, writing letters, taking walks, reminiscing about the patients’ lives. Volunteers can also sit vigil for patients who are in their final hours. Each Family Provide respite for family members who need to take a break, work, or run errands. Provide companionship and a comforting presence for family members by talking with them and offering bereavement support. |
