Visiting volunteers provide compassionate support to clients and their families during a crucial time in their lives. They offer companionship to people living with life-threatening illness, helping alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation by engaging in meaningful conversations, reading, or simply sitting together. Volunteers may assist with light household tasks or provide respite for family caregivers, allowing them time to rest.
After a screening that includes an OPP Vulnerable Sector Check and a minimum of 2 reference checks, our volunteers complete the 30 Hour HPCO Hospice Volunteer Training Program before attending any in-home visits.
Anyone can make a referral to receive support from Dundas County Hospice. Fill out the form below or email to get more details or get the process started.
