About the volunteering opportunity
We are looking for you for end-of-life care:
- in the home
- in palliative and intensive care units
- in nursing homes
- in assisted living
- or on the street (for homeless people) or in transitional homes
Your Tasks
End-of-life care is multifaceted.
Sometimes it's conversations or (if mobility is available) walks, reading aloud, simply being there, sharing silence, but also joy and laughter, supportive conversations with relatives. You create space for encounters.
