ProMedica Hospice of Southfield

Hospice Doesn’t Mean Giving Up Hope We provide care wherever you call home: in your house, a skilled nursing center, an assisted living facility or independent living facility. Our caregivers help create individualized care plans, set personal goals, and manage pain and symptoms. Every patient is different. With different challenges, different needs, different family and friends. So the care we give each patient is different.

Volunteer Opportunities Our volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform. THE TASKS OF VOLUNTEERS MAY INCLUDE: Helping with office support tasks at the agency Running errands for patients and families Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest Reading, or providing a comforting touch Playing or singing soothing music to patients Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient’s spirits Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans * We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.
