Volunteer Training
Training is held on a quarterly basis at Hospice House. Volunteers tour the house and learn what’s involved in patient care and office volunteer roles. Many of our hospice volunteers come to us as early retirees who are eager to give time to this worthy program.
We use a buddy system in training, teaming up new recruits with seasoned volunteers. The new volunteer find that it helps to have a “buddy” who has invaluable experience dealing with hospice patients, both at Hospice House and in home care.
