- the location,
- time/date,
- and person (age, gender, medical condition)
from a list of well-cared-for patients.
You can imagine being that person, who seeks someone to talk with, laugh with, and share experiences with. Come experience the connection you can create with a person in need. Our hospice patients are living out their lives in their own home, or at a care facility, where they request companionship.
- TRU Care trains and connects volunteers.
- Training is thorough*, homes are vetted and once you learn the ropes, you set out to meaningful interactions, providing someone with your best.
*Volunteer training is mandated by Medicare and takes about 20 hours on a self-paced basis. before Volunteering. In the U.S., for the safety of the patients, this training is required for all volunteers, at any Hospice, by law.
