Description

End-of-life care from Haven aims to provide compassionate and skilled care to terminally ill patients and their families. To help us successfully achieve this goal, the support of our volunteers is key. Volunteers support patients and families in many ways. Their presence can be extremely comforting, even if the volunteer only sits quietly in the room. This time together allows the family much-needed respite for their appointments or other activities that they need to do out of the house. Volunteers are the heart of our end-of-life program. They provide that extra level of care and comfort that makes all the difference to patients and families. Volunteering is uniquely challenging and rewarding work.
