Hospice of the Western Reserve is seeking volunteers to assist in private residences, nursing homes, assisted living
communities, our two Hospice House locations, and hospital settings. As a vital part of Hospice of the Western Reserve’s team, volunteers come from all walks of life, and have a variety of skills, talents and abilities. Opportunities
to serve are diverse: visit patients and families to provide
companionship, socialization, and comfort, help with legacy work, transportation, light housework, meal preparation, run errands, make phone calls, help with clerical work, attend health fairs, make a presentation.  Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys, licensed hair dressers,
massotherapists, pet therapy dogs and their handlers.
