Honor our Veterans

There’s an old adage that says to truly understand someone, you have to walk in his shoes. We have found that veterans who volunteer for hospice bring a unique perspective that helps them relate to hospice patients who are also veterans. Join the Crossroads Hospice team and visit with veterans patients to provide Vet to Vet Support. We want to recognize the sacrifices that many of our patients have made in serving their country. In doing so, we have created a Veterans Recognition Program to acknowledge our Veteran patients by providing certificates and honorary presentations. Many of these ceremonies take place around Veterans Day throughout Northeast Ohio. If you are a veteran and would enjoy visiting with a hospice patient, please contact us to today at 330-899-9100 and request to speak with a Volunteer Manager. All volunteers must: Attend a volunteer training Participate in health screening Complete a background check (18 and older)

Through 9/4/20

Wagging Tails Needed to Visit Hospice Patients

Animals provide a special kind of peace that people can't provide. When speech and communication are gone, people still respond to the touch of a dog or the wag of a tail. It brings a smile to those that are often lost inside of their own memories. Our pet visitation program enables pet owners to provide services to people in their community while spending quality time with their dogs. We are currently looking for pet visitation teams to join our program. Contact us today at 330-899-9100 and ask for a Volunteer Manager to talk about this exciting opportunity! We work all over Northeast Ohio, going to wherever our patient calls home (private house/apartment, nursing home, assisted living facility). We strive to keep our volunteers within a 15 minute drive from the patient(s) they visit - so you can volunteer right in your local community! All volunteers must: Attend a volunteer training Participate in health screening Complete a background check (18 and older)
