Volunteer Support Services
Hospice PEI volunteers provide companionship and comfort to Islanders with a life-limiting or palliative diagnosis, while providing respite for their caregivers and loved ones. Our trained volunteers are carefully matched with care recipients and their families based on the care recipient’s and their families needs and our resources. Our volunteers are available for care recipients who are living at home, in long term care, in hospitals, or in palliative care settings. All Hospice PEI services are provided free of charge.
Examples of Volunteer Support Services include:
- Listening and conversing
- Reading
- Comforting
- Meditation
- Walking
- Providing respite care for caregivers
- Music care
- Therapeutic touch
- Transportation to appointments
