Description

Visiting Nurse Home and Hospice is seeking volunteers to provide pet therapy visits for our hospice patients.  If you have a wonderful, fully trained and certified therapy dog, we welcome you to join our hospice team. You can choose to visit patients and their caregivers on Aquidneck Island, Bristol, Warren and Jamestown.

We ask for a once a week commitment, but it depends on your availability.

The visits will be to homes or long term care facilities. There is a convenient and comprehensive online hospice training that you would be required to complete before volunteering.

Contact Joy Benson, Hospice Volunteer Coordinator at jbenson@visitingnursehh.org for more information.
