Visiting Nurse and Hospice of Litchfield County (VNHLC) seeks hospice volunteers for its growing hospice program. The agency cares for patients who live in towns throughout Litchfield County and the Farmington Valley.
What do hospice volunteers do? They are friendly visitors who chat with, play music for, go outside, and sit quietly with patients. They also can provide respite for family or other caregivers, allowing time to take care of necessary errands.
Training is provided and can be adapted to individual schedule needs. Volunteers can choose the towns to which they want to go.
The hospice team embraces a philosophy of an uncompromised level of quality and patient/family-centered care. Volunteering with VNHLC is not just about giving but also about receiving. It’s a gratifying and enriching experience of which you can be proud to be a part. If you are interested in volunteering your energy, compassion and time working directly with hospice patients and their families, please get in touch with Pam Gordon at 860-269-3219 or pgordon@vnhlc.org Submitted by VNHLC
