About this event

Each year, hundreds of volunteers tell us that touching the lives of Transitions LifeCare patients and families is among their most rewarding experiences. You can join our volunteer team and offer hope and comfort in a variety of ways:

Family Support – provide respite, companionship, supportive presence, and practical support to patients and their families

Vigil Volunteers – sit with patients who are actively dying and may not have family or friends present. Patients whose family or friends are present may request respite to give them time to step away for a meal, to rest, etc.

Veteran Recognition – volunteer veterans acknowledge the military service and sacrifices made by veterans and their families

Pet Therapy – volunteers accompanied by their certified pet therapy dogs provide visits to our patients.

Transportation – transport patients to the doctor, grocery store, etc.

Delivery – deliver important items such as medical supplies to a patients

Hospice Home Meals – volunteer as a group to provide a buffet meal to families in the Hospice Home

Handcrafts – make afghans, quilts, prayer shawls, and “busy finger aprons” for patients

Miscellaneous Tasks – administrative support, assistance with events, supportive phone calls, Reiki, Gentle Touch, and expressive arts support.
