Community Hospice has scheduled a new volunteer orientation training.
The two-day session will be Wednesday and Thursday, May 19-20 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Â
The sessions will be conducted at the Community Hospice office at 1480 Carter Avenue in Ashland.
Although volunteers are needed for a variety of duties, there is a particular need for those interested in providing short in-home caregiver breaks, emotional support and companionship visitation, nursing home visits, chaplains providing spiritual support, military vet-to-vet visits, and at the Care Center as a greeter/receptionist or working with the hospitality cart.Â
Volunteers determine when and how often they are available to assist â a few hours a week or just occasionally. All volunteers must complete the required training to be certified.
