Grace Hospice


Grace Hospice serves the Southwest Michigan area. We provide comprehensive hospice care services for people in their own homes and facilities, with life limiting medical conditions. We are a caring team of nurses, medical director, social worker, volunteer coordinator, nurse's aides, and volunteers.

We are seeking volunteers for side by side companionship with patients and respite care. Companions typically spend about an hour per week with the patient having friendly chats, or participating in hobbies the patient enjoys. They may also run errands for the patient or family, or provide respite care. Respite care would be the same as companionship, except the patient's care giver would be out of the home. This allows the patient's care giver to take care of things (like their own medical appointments) that they would not otherwise be able to do. Volunteers are a vital part of our staff, and have the very personally rewarding experience of brightening someone's day.
