We at High Desert Hospice are passionate about excellence in overall care for our patients. We offer a structured care plan that includes emotional, mental, spiritual and physical support.

However, our patients often have limited outside social interaction due to the progression of their illness. This limitation can create issues with isolation and subsequent loneliness. These circumstances can then be accompanied by a decline in the daily quality of life for the patient and their families.

The High Desert Hospice Volunteer Program gives us the opportunity to reach into a patient’s life with an additional layer of care. Our volunteer staff includes folks from all walks of life that have a heart for providing companionship to those experiencing a life-limiting illness.

Our volunteer opportunities include but are not limited to, running errands, reading out loud, playing a game, working a puzzle or just giving the patient a chance to visit with someone outside of the regular caregiver circle. For those individuals who may prefer to contribute hand-made items such as blankets or lap blankets, we consider all donated items a part of our High Desert Hospice Volunteer Program, as well.

Our High Desert Hospice Volunteer Program is geared to our volunteers. We will work with your schedule and are committed to taking every single moment that our volunteers gift us with and making it significantly count toward easing the strain that can occur for our patients who are progressing through a life-limiting illness.
