Healthcare@Home is looking for caring and compassionate individuals to become Hospice and Bereavement Volunteers!
Hospice Volunteers are the spirit of the Healthcare@Home Hospice Team. You can assist our patients by bringing them comfort and the ability to have quality of life. You can help to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of a person as they are nearing the end of their journey, as well as supporting their loved ones.
Bereavement Volunteers are the arms that hold a person in one of their deepest times of need. We all have experienced different types of grief, and you can use your experience to aide others. You can assist our team in giving care to families who have lost a loved one by a variety of different ways.
Here are just a few of the many ways both Hospice and Bereavement Volunteers can offer support:
If you would like to Volunteer with us, please ask to speak with a Volunteer Services Coordinator at our Healthcare@Home Customer Service line at 1-888-599-7328.

Bereavement is the period after a loss during which grief is experienced and mourning occurs. The duration of bereavement can depend on different factors like, type of loss, type of relationship, attachment level, and the amount of preparation time anticipating the loss.
