Service Opportunities From: Alvernia University

By becoming an Earth Angel volunteer at Grane Hospice, you provide a much needed support to a population of patients and families who need it most. Here are some of the services we offer our patients:

Talking, reading to patients, holding their hands and taking for walks outside. Relieving caregivers by providing companionship to patients so they can run errands or personal things Community outreach groups that will work with schools and churches to share time and gifts through music performances, visits or encouragement cards Provide “Tuck-in Calls”, which are friendly, weekly phone calls to home patients for medication reminders, supply needs or just to say hello Pet Therapy volunteers share their trained dogs with patients who love animals Create hand-made crafts such as cards, lap blankets, memory bears, and floral arrangements to bring comfort and happiness to patients Vigil Volunteers share a comforting presence with a patient and their family in their final hours Bereavement volunteers support family members after a loss of a loved one through cards, phone calls and visits
