Are you that compassionate Meditation, Mindfulness or Relaxation trained individual who is eager to help but unable to commit to a strict schedule? As a Guided Relaxation Support Volunteer for Hospice patients, you will be that periodic welcome visit for a patient in hospice care. Here’s a way to give back, putting your certification and expertise to meaningful use.
Horizon Home Care and Hospice will provide training centered around therapeutic communication with the dying and the grieving, to enhance the effectiveness of your guided relaxation techniques. Your role, which will take place at Horizon’s inpatient units, patient homes or other partner facilities, is complementary and does not replace medical or clinical care.
Horizon Home Care and Hospice is certified by Joint Commission and reports to the State Board. As required, you should plan on 10-15 hours of on-site orientation structured to your schedule.
Your calm and respectful volunteer service will become a key part of a patient’s care team. This opportunity is flexible and meaningful; your impact will be clear.
Please feel free to reach out to us today, to apply or just to make an inquiry. We'd love to hear from you!
Please call Kim Szymanski, Manager of Volunteer Services, at 414-586-8332, or email at kimberly.szymanski@horizonhch.org.
