Palliative Care Support Program Hospice Northwest volunteers are carefully screened and trained to ensure that each possesses sensitivity, awareness and excellent communications skills. The generous contributions of our community’s palliative care experts ensure superior volunteer training, which conforms to provincial standards. Volunteers visit in homes, hospitals and long term care facilities. The role of the volunteer is to: listen, advocate for optimal care, assist the individual and family to achieve meaning and satisfaction at this difficult time, relieve caregivers, complement the role of family members, and at all times, observe confidentiality. A referral for volunteer visiting can be made by anyone, providing the client is in agreement. |
