Our mission at 5 Star Home Health & Hospice is to provide the highest quality care possible in the most professional and ethical manner. In Hospice, the whole family is considered the unit of care, and care extends through their period of mourning. Hospice services can be provided wherever a patient calls home: private residence, assisted living center, skilled nursing facility, etc. Services are typically related to managing the patient's terminal illness, controlling pain, or enabling the individual to maintain activities of daily living and basic functional skills.
Do you enjoy brightening someone's day? Being a compassionate listener and helping those who can't help themselves? Volunteering in Hospice is a rewarding way to give back to the community. The patients and caregivers are so grateful to those people who so selflessly serve. Here are a few things you may be asked to do as a volunteer in Hospice: Listen, life review, small household chores, be a friend, read out loud, respite care to family, etc.. the list goes on and on. *With as little as one hour a week, you could make a huge difference in someones life!
Being a Hospice volunteer has been an extremely rewarding experience. I've loved getting to know the family I am assisting. It has brought new understanding to my own life and much needed help for not only the dying patient, but also their family. -Justin Lamb, Salt Lake City
