Patient Visitor - Princeton, Monmouth Jct., Monroe Township

Overview

Our holistic philosophy takes a pro-active approach to pain and symptom management and recognizes that pain extends beyond the physical. We address the symptoms of each patient's illness as well as the emotional and spiritual concerns of the patient, caregiver and family - assisting patients and loved ones with the challenges that come with death and dying. Hospice care provides a way for patients to take control of their life and treatment, encouraging them to take an active role in the important medical and legal decisions that affect them and those around them.

Our multidisciplinary hospice team provides a wide range of care and support, allowing patients to live out their final months comfortably, in control, and with the dignity and respect they deserve.

• As a patient visitor, provide companionship and a quiet presence to hospice patients in their homes or facilities.
• Provide caregiver relief to relatives who are in need of a well-deserved break.
• Support the patient and family as part of a multidisciplinary hospice team including medical, psychosocial, spiritual staff and volunteers.

• Experience or interest in end-of-life care and supporting patients and families in hospice settings is preferred.
• Ability to provide compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental support.
