For the individuals who are a part of the Cedar Village Hospice Program, their days are enriched at the end of their lives.
Thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers and their pets, smiles abound on the patients’ faces when a caring volunteer and her dog come to visit. Pet visits are an important part of the comfort and care provided to the hospice patients.
Other volunteers visit with the patients and bring beautiful flowers to brighten their rooms. The volunteers share stories, and often become surrogate family members at the end of life.
“I really enjoy visiting residents and providing them with comfort at this time in their life. Many people I visit just want someone to be there with them and I am able to do that,” said a weekly volunteer for Hospice.
