Rose Cottage Visiting Volunteers

Description

A not-for-profit organization that provides palliative care services to the residents of Grimsby, Beamsville, Smithville, Vineland, and Jordan.
Rose Cottage Visiting Volunteers are educated in issues relating to palliative care and bring a personal touch to the service through compassion and support to the people we serve. Our services are available FREE of charge to anyone living with terminal or life threatening illness while at home, hospital or a long-term care facility. Examples of what the Volunteers have done in the past include: companionship by providing someone to talk with, doing simple tasks such as reading, writing letters, organizing family photos, or even finishing the knitting of a sweater for a person too ill to finish on her own. Rose Cottage Visiting Volunteers listen to your concerns, and with your consent, help find the resources you need. Our knowledge of “the system” works as an invaluable aid to individuals and families who may already have too much on their mind.
