What Volunteer Services Does Nueva Hospice Offer?
Our volunteers go beyond the traditional role of caregiving and live out the Nueva Hospice mission, to adding a personal and meaningful touch to hospice care. Here’s how they make a difference:
Music Therapy: With a DJ deck and favorite tunes, our volunteers create uplifting musical moments. Whether it’s a sing-along or just enjoying soothing melodies, these sessions spark joy and connection.
Arts and Crafts Therapy: Creative sessions like making memory books, keepsakes, or other projects help patients leave behind something meaningful for their loved ones.
Games and Hobbies: Bingo nights, “Name that Tune,” and even planting small potted plants create moments of laughter and community.
Legacy Work: From documenting life stories to writing letters and recording messages, volunteers help patients preserve cherished memories for their families.
Vigil Services: During a patient’s final moments, volunteers provide companionship, creating a peaceful and calm environment for the family and patient.
Honoring Veterans: We celebrate and honor our veteran patients, recognizing their service with gratitude and respect.
Photography and Memory Books: Volunteers help families capture special moments, creating beautiful keepsakes to cherish forever.
Meal and Flower Deliveries: Delivering meals and flowers is a simple but impactful way to brighten someone’s day.
Donation Drives: Volunteers organize donation drives to ensure residents have everything they need.
Special Events: Whether it’s a birthday celebration with cake or a decorated holiday dinner, our volunteers bring thoughtful touches to make every gathering feel special and filled with joy.
