“During Martha’s (therapy dog) visit with the patient, he appeared happy to see Martha. At one point, I thought he was tired and would prefer if Martha (and I) left, but he reached for her paw indicating that he wanted her to stay.” -Tracy, Martha’s owner and Volunteer
“Thank you for all you did for my mother. To visit someone with dementia when no one else knows you are there is the ultimate act of kindness.” -From a letter written by a family member to a Hospice volunteer
“There is something unique about being neither a family member nor old friend – those with shared memories, mutual grief and advice. That gives the volunteer a special role as a good listener and as a good new companion.”
