Patient Care VolunteersPatient Care Volunteers are a vital part of our team giving support, help, and companionship to patients and their families. All Patient Care Volunteers go through a training course to prepare them for working with patients and families. The services they provide include: companionship, reading to the patient, letter writing, errands, household chores and filling in when family members need a break. A big part of a volunteer's effort is simply befriending the patient and family; from their relationship flows the specific set of services needed. Patient Care Volunteers are asked to be available an average of four hours per week. Typically, a volunteer is assigned to a single patient and remains with them as long as the patient is with Yolo Hospice. Because each illness, each patient, and each family is different, we assign the volunteer we believe will best meet the needs of the situation. Volunteer TrainingTraining for Yolo Hospice patient volunteers takes place seven times each year. Trainings are held at different locations in the Sacramento area and Davis. The Sacramento Hospice Consortium handles registration. The classes include a total of 24 hours of training. The cost of the training is $40. To register, click here.
