Volunteers keep tabs on patients and caregivers
Florence, 93, lives in a nursing home, and she and her daughter, Carolyn rely on a Haven Transitions volunteer to keep tabs on each other between visits. Florence enjoys hearing the Transitions volunteer’s kind, familiar voice, and Carolyn is grateful that someone calls to check on them. Transitions volunteers also support caregivers, many of whom struggle with burnout and fatigue. Said one volunteer, “They just want to know that someone cares.” |
