Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice Announces Upcoming Volunteer Trainings

March 29, 2016

 Volunteer support has been an integral part of Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice's (AHCH) services. The Program is now widely recognized as one of the most extensive, non-profit, home health care volunteer programs in Maine.

“Volunteering is very rewarding.  You feel good when you are helping someone else." states Evelyn Bodemer, Volunteer for AHCH. Volunteer opportunities include visiting patients on home care or hospice services, providing respite for caregivers, bereavement support and facilitating grief groups, grocery shopping and transportation.  Volunteers specializing in complementary therapies such as pet therapy, Reiki, massage, music and art are also welcome.

AHCH has a wonderful new group of Hospice Volunteers who will be providing companionship and respite to our patients and families throughout our service areas. Hospice volunteers visit in homes, nursing facilities and the Hospice House. Our next Hospice Volunteer Training is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, April 6, 2016.  There is also a need for transportation and grocery volunteers. The next training for grocery and transportation volunteers is scheduled for Thursday, April 7.
