Hospice of the Chesapeake – We Honor Veterans Programs Did you know that 1 out of every 4 Hospice clients is a Veteran and that it is a Medicare requirement that 5% of Hospice’s total staff hours have to be provided by volunteers. Help Hospice hit that mark monthly by assisting with:
Compassionate Care – Enhance the quality of life for patients and their families by providing companionship, a listening ear and practical assistance.
Vigil – Provide support to Veteran patients and their families during the final days and hours of life.
Honor Salute – Pay respect to our valued Veteran patients in a unique way. Join service members to honor veterans for their service in the military.
Vet to Vet – the program matches trained, experienced Veteran patient care volunteers with Veterans in Hospice care. The pairing creates a bond based on shared understanding of military experience. Sometimes these conversations are the last opportunity for a Veteran to feel their service was not in vain.
Patriotic Quilts – Craft patriotic quilts for inclusion in the Honor Salute Kits.
Meals on Wheels Meals on Wheels – Can you spare just two hours a month to help deliver meals to a neighbor in need. If you can, please call the Office on Aging at 410-535-4606.
