NOT ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS - Valeo is a Utah-based home health and hospice care agency providing quality and compassionate home health and hospice care to those in need. Hospice is a philosophy of care for individuals faced with terminal illness. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death and is focused on the belief that quality of life is as important as length of life. Our Hospice staff incorporates medical, emotional, physical and spiritual care for the patient and the patient’s family. Support is also provided during bereavement and beyond.
Volunteers must be 18+
Volunteers are essential to our organization and the hospice patients we serve. As a volunteer you can make a difference by providing companionship, respite, emotional and spiritual support to our patients and their families. Your warm smile and tender touch could be all it takes to make that difference in the life of some one with a terminal illness. Volunteers 18 years and older provide tasks arranged in conjunction with the volunteer coordinator, such as reading, helping record life story, running errands, light housekeeping, yard work, going for walks, or providing companionship.
It gave me an insight on the importance of time and the reality of death, a lot of the patients are sweet and funny, a joy to be around. I hear a lot of stories and get caretaker skills. -Rosealine Scheuerman, Salt Lake City, Utah
