Hospice
We have a formal volunteer program through our Hospice program at Caledonia Home Health Care & Hospice. Hospice volunteers are an important part of our Hospice team. Their compassionate care for our Hospice patients helps ease the stress and exhaustion families deal with every day.
You can provide Hospice family members with a much-needed break for a few hours each week. You might run errands, write letters, provide companionship, read to patients, or just listen. Other Hospice related volunteer opportunities include bereavement support and transportation services.
We thank our Hospice volunteers for the important and thoughtful contributions they make to our patients and their families.
If you are interested in more information about Hospice volunteer opportunities, please contact Cynthia Gauthier at cynthiag@nchcvt.org or call (802) 748-8116 ext. 1028.
Do you have a special skill to share?
Beyond Hospice volunteering, NCHC needs volunteers for special events, community outreach, and office assistance. We have needs for music therapy, pet services, shopping, and home maintenance. Please contact Cynthia Gauthier at cynthiag@nchcvt.org or call (802) 748-8116 ext. 1028.
Dinners With Love
Caledonia Home Health Care & Hospice has launched their Dinners With Love program that helps to lighten the load for patients during a difficult time. Dinners With Love is a partnership between CHHC and local restaurants that helps to deliver meals to hospice patients and their families. Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, Cynthia Gauthier has worked diligently to help Hoagies Pizza and Pasta, in Lyndonville, to become the first restaurant to participate. Hoagies is currently donating two meals weekly to a hospice patient and his daughter. We hope to expand the program throughout our service area so hospice patients and their families may spend more time focusing on what really matters. If you have an interest to serve dinners with love, please contact Cynthia at (802) 748-8116 ext 1028.
