Hospice Volunteer Training Program - For non-hospice volunteers

The more I know about hospice, the more I realize that it has nothing to do with just a mode of care and everything with how we live our lives on a daily basis.

The hospice volunteer training program is an online program that covers the basics of hospice services for those who wish to be of service.  Ironically, it is ideal for those who just want to know what to say (or not to say) when someone is grieving the loss or anticipated loss of someone for whom they care. 

It is a guideline for the Medicare rules for hospice but more importantly a guideline for providing comfort, compassion and dignity in a non-judgmental fashion. 

My passion for hospice services extends beyond the course site to helping hospice agencies to train volunteers in the basics of hospice on a site personalized for their agency.  The benefit to the hospice agency is a reduction in training costs and the amount of time that is often embedded in the planning and execution of a successful training session.

If you never plan on becoming a hospice volunteer, you can still benefit from learning about an option of care that will eventually affect someone you know.  We are all entitled to the benefit and it would be a shame to ignore one of the greatest benefits available to us at a vulnerable and emotionally charged point in time.
