Compass will be offering a two-day training session this October for individuals interested in becoming patient care volunteers. We are especially looking for volunteers in Caroline County to help support local families.
Training Dates: October 21 & October 23
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Location: Hope & Healing Conference Room, Barnette Center
255 Comet Drive, Centreville, MD 21617
Patient care volunteers provide companionship to patients, give caregivers much-needed breaks, assist with administrative duties, and support grief services. We’re also seeking Veteran volunteers to participate in our We Honor Veterans program.
The training will cover a wide range of topics, including:
- Introduction to hospice care
- The end-of-life journey
- Spiritual care in hospice
- Stages of grief
- Effective communication
- Family dynamics
- Stress management and caregiver self-care
Compass depends on the support of more than 200 volunteers of all ages who give their time in meaningful ways. In addition to patient care roles, we are also seeking volunteers for Compass Closet (formerly Estate Treasures), our upscale thrift shop that helps fund patient care.
Whatever your reason for volunteering, there’s a place for you at Compass.
