Direct Patient Interaction

Direct Patient Interaction

These hospice volunteers interact directly with patients. They travel to the patient’s home, nursing home or long-term care facility and help by :

• Spending time and being present with the patient
• Reading or playing soothing music
• Playing games like cards or board games
• Writing legacy letters with the patient
• Cooking meals
• Doing light household chores
• Providing respite so family caregivers can take a break
• Drawing on special skills such as providing haircuts or manicures, playing an instrument or creating art projects
