Hospice Pet Therapy Volunteers

At Residential Healthcare Group, we are on a mission to positively impact our patients and their families and inspire a renewed sense of hope and confidence by providing exceptional home health, palliative, and hospice care.

To meet the unique needs of every patient and family, our extraordinary care teams serve as way finders and way makers by delivering individualized care plans and experiences, wherever you are.

We believe that exceptional care is best delivered in a collaborative environment and seek to continually transform the home health, palliative and hospice industries through our proven team-based approach to care management and delivery.

Residential Hospice cares for your medical needs as well as your spiritual and emotional needs. Our team is comprised of physicians, registered nurses, social workers, and spiritual care counselors that work together to care for the whole patient.

Residential Hospice is looking for volunteers with certified pet therapy dogs to visit our patients in Hospice care. Hospice pet therapy utilizes the natural bond between humans and animals to bring joy, humor, love and companionship to those on the end-of-life journey.

• Visit hospice patients with your certified pet therapy dog.
• Provide companionship and emotional support during visits.

• Must own a certified pet therapy dog registered with a recognized pet therapy organization.
• Ability to visit patients on the hospice team.

• The unconditional, non-judgmental love that pets provide.

• Having something to look forward to.

• The gratification of bringing smiles to patients, families and staff.
• The chance to witness firsthand the amazing impact a dog can have on the lives of others.
• The opportunity to give your certified pet therapy dog important work to do, where it will receive lots of loving attention.
