This information is for supporting our patients directly at home, in our Hale and in local care facilities. If you are interested in helping out in other ways, you can call our volunteer coordinator at 244-5555 or apply on this site.
People often ask about being a Hospice Maui Volunteer visiting patients in their homes, at our Hospice Hale and at Hale Makua, Roselani Place, Kula Hospital, Kalama Heights and in private foster care. Our Patient Visit Volunteers provide compassionate companionship to patients, and often are able to give family members a much needed break. Volunteers may sit with patients to talk story, listen to music, watch TV, or just be present for the patient while the family is on an errand. Some Volunteers also play music, offer light massage or Reiki, help with household errands, do Food Bank Shops, and many other things that would support the patient and family.
Caring for our patients is a sacred trust and, simply due to nature of being with people at the end of life, difficult situation or emotions may come up when helping out in this beautiful way. Hospice Maui offers an extensive Compassionate Care of the Dying Volunteer Training each year to prepare volunteers for the joys and challenges of being a Hospice Maui Volunteer. If this is your interest, please let us know and we will contact you about the training and get you signed up for our waiting list.
