    Description

    Hospice Volunteers

    At Serenity Hospice, our commitment to ensuring a peaceful end-of-life experience means going beyond the conventional provisions of medical needs. Our acclaimed standard of the exceptional care includes enhancing the quality of life for patients and their families during this sensitive time with comfort and compassion.

    We offer many programs including.

    Serenity Surprises: Serenity arranges surprise breathtaking moments, providing patients with those special "wished for" events; a reunion with an old friend or loved one, a visit from a celebrity, attending a unique celebration, or getting a cherished heirloom. Unforgettable moments that bring smiles, tears, triumph, passion and... serenity.

    Music Therapy: Our board-certified Music therapists harness the incredible therapeutic power of music to promote calm, pain relief, emotional and physical healing, heightened cognition and expression, or a spiritual connection.

    Veterans' Programs: Our trained staff is extra sensitive to the special challenges, mindset, and needs of our Veterans. Our vets are made to feel special and take pride in their military background. A 3-star member of We Honor Veterans', Serenity promotes assistance and resources for veterans.

    Starlight Program: A professional staff member relieves family members, providing generous bedside attendant coverage during the challenging final states. Our skilled and compassionate caregivers make our patient's final moments peaceful, relaxed, and dignified.

    Encore Memory Care Program: This program was designed to address the specific needs and challenges of the cognitive patients as well as their loved ones with expertise, skill, and comfort. Specially trained staff members promote comfort, security, and dignity while providing support and education for families and caregivers.

    Pet Therapy: Interactive Pet therapy is a powerful resource of comfort and support through certified dogs. The encounters with friendly loving pets elicit positive emotions and encourage conversation and emotional connections with families.

    We also look for volunteers who are willing to assist with other needs both on a regular and as needed basis such as.

    Quilters, Carpenters, Crafters, Clergy Administrative, Patient Visitors, Veterans, Musicians, Artists, Readers, Special Events, Errand Runners and so much more!!!
