✨Respite Sitting: Benefits the Patient and caregiver so they may get out to run errands, work, or rest.
✨Vigil Team: If new to hospice and after some time visiting with patients, you might feel comfortable to sit with someone on their last days. This is very personal, intimate time to be with a person. If you are someone that can be available in a pinch, this also factors into participating as vigils, by nature, pop-up and the need is immediate.
