Three members of our Garner, NC hospice care center recently came together to support a local family as their 22-year-old son entered his final moments of life. The team responded quickly, admitted the patient, remained with the family and provided comfort and prayer as he passed — all in one meaningful visit.

We are proud to have such compassionate caregivers on our team. Thank you, Dianna, Mandy and Amanda for your urgency, empathy and dedication to putting our patients and their families first in the moments that matter.

Navy veteran and hospice volunteer Aaron Burr knows the power of small gestures. Inspired by the kindness that shaped his early life in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Aaron now gives back by making companionship calls to fellow veterans receiving hospice care.

Recently, he mailed 100th birthday hats to centenarian patients — one of whom, Chief Windsong, was also a Navy veteran and New Bedford native. Though they’d never met, Aaron’s thoughtful gesture created a meaningful connection between two veterans, many miles apart.

Thank you, Aaron, for your service and your heart for hospice 💚

Volunteers get to make their own schedule!
Our Non-medical Hospice Direct Care Volunteer provides support to patients living with a terminal illness, in addition to their caregivers and family. Support is provided in a variety of ways, including companionship, socialization, and caregiver relief. There is no medical background needed - our Hospice volunteers do not interact with the patient in any medical or personal hygiene capacity (i.e., volunteers do not give baths, get the patient in/out of bed, or to/from the bathroom, give medication).
Some examples of what a Direct Care Volunteer could do:
• Provide companionship
• Socialization and/or support to hospice patients and their families/caregivers
• Reading to the patient
• Playing games
• Writing letters to or on behalf of the patient
• Assisting with light household duties (watering plants, walking pets, washing dishes, emptying and taking out the garbage, etc.

Volunteers make their own schedule! We do ask for about 2 hours per visit. For more information email: amedisysvolprogram@amedisys.com
