As part of our hospice program, we offer volunteers who are trained to provide compassionate non-medical care and support to people in the community faced with life-threating illness.

 

Hospice care volunteers offer:

• Emotional support and compassionate listening

• Companionship

• Respite for caregivers

• Practical support, such as transportation, light meal prep, shopping and errands

• Hobbies and interests

• Life review

• Spiritual support

• Tender Care vigil support

​

Our services are available for anyone with a life-threatening illness and a prognosis of up to two years. We also offer support to families during this time.

​

Our service area covers a 25-mile radius around Waterville, including 27 communities. We accept referrals from physicians, counselors, hospitals, clergy, family members, as well as self-referrals.
