Eastern Zone - Cape Breton - Hospice & Palliative Care

Not everyone is comfortable around death and dying but most people do want to help.  Our Community Helping Hands Program is an opportunity for those folks to assist our patients and their families without having to be hands on in the home or at the bedside.  These volunteers have the time, skills, tools, and abilities to assist with everyday tasks that our Palliative Care patients may be struggling with.  Some of these tasks would include:

• Dog walking
• Shopping/running errands
• Gardening
• Yard work/lawn mowing/shoveling snow/plowing driveways
• Putting up holiday decorations
• Cooking/baking
• Light Housekeeping
