VOLUNTEER AT OHIO VETERANS HOME - GEORGETOWN STEIN HOSPICE UNIT

Stein Hospice is looking for caring volunteers who can provide companionship and assistance to Veterans at the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown who are facing end-of-life challenges.

Stein Hospice opened a 22-bed hospice unit at the Ohio Veterans Home in January and now is in need of volunteers to help with patient and family care.
Volunteer schedules are flexible and include such duties as reading to patients and helping with meals.

All volunteers are required to complete a six-week training class called LifeCourse™.
The class will be held on Wednesdays, March 9 through April 13, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
at the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown.

This free course presented by Stein Hospice explores the feelings and philosophies of the death and dying process.
It covers such topics as Concepts of Death and Dying; Pain Management; Spirituality; Care and Comfort; Family Dynamics and more.
