Kindred Hospice

Hospice is not a place; its a philosophy of care that enhances life as it nears its end for the patients and their families and friends.

KindredHospice is a team of professionals who provide care to patients and families with end of life needs. As key members of the care team, volunteers expand and enhance hospice services for our patients. Volunteers bring special skills and talents to share with patients, and offer comfort through companionship visits, administrative assistance and special projects for patients and their families.

Our hospice care is centered around the entire family to help make the most of each day. As key members of the care team, volunteers expand and enhance hospice services for our patients.

Make a difference in a life by being a friend!

Everyone needs someone to show they care. Be a friend to a hospice patient. Spend time visiting, talking, listening, laughing, playing games with and reading to a hospice patient. By taking a few moments a week you can make a lasting impact on the heart and life of a patient.

Through caring, compassion, and time given to hospice patients, our volunteers make an invaluable contribution to community, gain personal emotional and spiritual growth, and greater appreciation for life.
