Hospice of the Western Reserve Volunteer Education Series
8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Hospice of the Western Reserve is seeking volunteers to assist in private residences, nursing homes, assisted living communities, our three Hospice House locations, and hospital settings. As a vital part of Hospice of the Western Reserve’s team, volunteers come from all walks of life and have a variety of skills, talents and abilities. Opportunities to serve are diverse: visit patients and families to provide companionship, socialization, and comfort; help with legacy work, transportation, light housework, and meal preparation; run errands; make phone calls; help with clerical work; attend health fairs; make presentations. Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys, licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy dogs and their handlers.
The next series of volunteer classes will be held at Hospice of the Western Reserve, 14601 Detroit Avenue, Suite 100, Lakewood, OH 44107, on Saturdays, April 9 and 16, from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Non-clinical volunteers attend only the first four hours on April 9, while most other volunteers attend all classes.
