Description

Bring the Tail Waggers to join our Hospice team

Nearly all patients and families enjoy a tail-wagging visit from a loveable four-legged friends. Pets must be up to date on all vaccinations and have a written statement from a veterinarian recommending them for our HosPET program. We are looking for calming animals that will bring joy and put people at ease.

Constellation Health Services' Hospice program is looking for volunteers to visit patients who have terminal illnesses. Make a difference in your community, be part of the hospice team, and have a flexible volunteer schedule. A few hours a week can make a big difference to someone nearing the end of life.

Volunteers may engage in conversation, read to a patient, look at pictures together, share music or videos on their phones, provide a compassionate presence, or other activities.

Requirements:

• At least 18 years old.
• Pet Certification (Ask me about how to do this.)
• Able to commit for one year to our program.
• Able to commit to at least 4 hours per week.
• Ability to listen deeply, interest in and compassion for others, good boundaries and self-care, and meet people where they're at in energy and tone.
• Online training takes approximately 20 hours and is personally enriching, focusing on personal death awareness and hospice philosophy.
• No close death in the last year

Why Constellation?

• Family-Centered Culture:At Constellation, we treat our team members like family. We understand that exceptional patient care starts with a happy and supported workforce.
