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
