Hospice Volunteer Opportunities in Mount Pleasant

Patient Companionship/Support: Become part of the hospice care team! All volunteers who visit our patients receive core training to prepare them to visit hospice patients. You'll learn about hospice care, what to expect, and how to provide support to patients and families on the end-of-life journey. 

Homemaking or Outdoor Work: Hospice care helps patients continue to live in the place they call home. You can help by assisting the patient and family with homemaking duties, meal preparation, pet assistance, yard clean-up or gardening.

Life Review: Learn how to interview patients about their lives, record those conversations and give the recordings to patients and their families for a long-lasting memories.
