Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to know about what hospice volunteers actually do?
Hospice volunteers provide emotional support, companionship, and basic, non-medical assistance such as reading aloud or sitting with patients. They help ease isolation and offer relief to family caregivers. We make sure our volunteers are prepared to bring calm, connection, and dignity to each visit.
How are hospice volunteers trained before they visit someone?
Volunteers typically receive specialized training that covers emotional support, boundaries, communication, and the principles of end-of-life care. We ensure every volunteer is equipped to handle sensitive moments with empathy and respect.
How does a hospice coordinator support families like mine?
A hospice coordinator helps organize care, answer questions, and coordinate between providers, patients, and loved ones. They’re often the main point of contact. Our coordinators stay closely involved, so that families don’t feel overwhelmed navigating care decisions.
Can I ask for a specific kind of help from a hospice volunteer?
Yes. Most programs allow families to request help based on their needs—like companionship, errands, or quiet presence. We tailor volunteer services to meet the emotional and practical needs of each household we support.

Families can access bereavement services, such as grief counseling, phone check-ins, and memorial support. We continue to be available for those who need time, space, and guidance to heal.
