"Eaton Community Hospice is a volunteer organization providing, at no cost, physical, emotional and spiritual care for the terminally ill, their families and/or significant others, enabling the terminally ill; to die with dignity in their home or home like environment."

Eaton Community Hospice started in 1983, providing in-home care to the terminally ill and bereavement and support services to families. In 2003, a cost-free Hospice House was opened, providing comfort and care in a home-like atmosphere during the last days of life.

Volunteers are not paid — not because they are
 worthless, but because they are priceless.

  • Do you want to do something truly worthwhile?
  • Do you want to help others at a time when they need an extra hand?
  • Do you want to work in the Thrift Shop?
  • Do you want to cook for patients and their families?
  • Do you want to help move and set up medical equipment?

Being a Hospice volunteer can be very rewarding and brings many opportunities to your life.
 It increases the understanding, compassion, and the deep satisfaction which
comes from helping others.
