Hospice volunteers provide respite for the caregiver, allowing them to run errands, take a nap, go to personal appointments, catch up on reading, housework, etc. They listen and provide companionship and support for the patient and family members. Some Hospice volunteers prefer to provide clerical support in the Hospice office rather than work directly with patients and families. Volunteers receive extensive training to prepare them for their important role as a Hospice volunteer.
