What is an in-home volunteer visitation program?

Our program is designed to provide non-medical compassionate support through community visitation to individuals who live with a life-limiting illness for which no cure is available, as well as support for their families.

People want to stay at home during an illness, it is our goal to help them to do that.

Some of the benefits of our program:

• reduces isolation and loneliness by providing regular social connection and companionship.

• offers friendly emotional support during a challenging and often uncertain time.

• supports dignity and independence by helping people remain connected to their community while staying in their own homes.

• promotes compassionate communities, where neighbors support one another.

• our volunteers visit you in your home, outside of a clinical setting.

• offers an opportunity for caregivers to attend appointments, run errands, or take personal time to meet a friend.

If you have been diagnosed with a life-limiting condition by your healthcare provider this visitation program may be helpful to you.
