Description
Calling Compassionate Hospice Companions!
Ready to give back? Have you experienced the care and support of hospice during the end of life journey with a family member or friend? Or, do you wish to be a compassionate presence to a hospice patient in a home or a care facility by listening, talking, or reading? Volunteers also provide caregiver relief for family members, do not provide hands-on care, but serve as companions and advocates. People volunteering time with others in the last months, weeks or days of life are rewarded in ways they never expected.
Northwestern Medicine Home Health & Hospice, formerly CNS Home Health & Hospice, is non-profit, accredited by The Joint Commission, Medicare certified, and licensed by the State of Illinois.
