“We bring an extra level of companionship and compassion into our patient’s home.”

We offer support for all non-medical needs such as socialization, running errands and assisting with family needs.

My favorite moments with my patients are:

• Being a companion
• Sharing stories from their past and present
• Playing cards and board games
• Putting together meals

Did you know that Comfort & Peace offers music therapy and pet therapy as well? Our volunteers bring their talents to your loved one’s bedside.

We believe in collaboration and we are honored to be a guest in your home, facility or hospital. The primary caregiver is identified by the patient or family and it depends on the care setting. They will be responsible for the day-to-day care of the patient, while being supported and guided by your hospice team.
