Volunteering for
Northern Arizona Hospice
Things a Family Support Volunteer Might Do
1. Maintain regular contact with the patient and family through visits
and by telephone.
2. Provide emotional support by actively listening.
3. Transport the patient and/or family members on occasion.
4. Run errands.
5. Provide respite care for the patient at home during brief absences of
the caregiver.
6. Assist with light homemaking chores as needed and when requested.
7. Provided temporary babysitting for the family’s children.
8. Provide information on community resources with the social worker
and/or nurse to determine what is appropriate.
9. Assist in problem-solving by listening, reflecting, summarizing, but
not by giving advice.
10. Assist the family in bereavement.
Volunteer assistance will vary depending on the needs of the patient and
family and the availability of the assigned volunteer. Arrangements are
made directly between the family and volunteer rather than through the
office. If there are problems or needs that cannot be met by the
volunteer, the Volunteer Coordinator should be contacted at the Hospice
office. |
