Home Nursing Hospice Offers Volunteer Training

Compassion lies at the core of Home Nursing Agency's Hospice Program and specially trained volunteers are at the heart of hospice. The Agency's hospice volunteer training classes will be offered in October.

Last year alone, Home Nursing Agency Hospice Volunteers gave over 5,600 hours of service to patients and their families throughout Blair, Bedford, Huntingdon, Cambria and Franklin Counties.

Through the training classes, volunteers are educated on the hospice philosophy of care, communication skills, cultural diversity, understanding family dynamics, stress management and complimentary intervention such as music, aroma, life review and guided imagery. Classes prepare volunteers to provide in home care, gift-making, bereavement and office support. f hospice patients and caregivers.
