Looking for a meaningful way to make a difference?
Blue Ridge Care Patient and Family Support Volunteers provide support to hospice patients and their family members. Volunteers provide companionship, caring presence, vigil sitting and assistance in the patient's home, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and in the Blue Ridge Care In-Patient Care Center. Volunteers also provide respite relief for caregivers allowing them much needed time to rest, take a break, or run errands. We also provide companionship through Pet Therapy. We provide support for patients' pets through our Paws and Purrs program.
We are also proud participants in the We Honor Veterans program. We provide compassionate, specialized support for those who have served. Our Veteran volunteers offer recognition ceremonies, companionship, and support for families.
Becoming a Patient and Family Support volunteer is a rewarding experience through which you will make a direct, positive impact on the life of a Hospice patient in your community.
