Kenora / Rainy River District Visiting Hospice Service
Volunteers can visit any patient or resident experiencing a CHRONIC or LIFE-LIMITING illness.
Volunteers are trained to offer companionship and support. After being accepted into the program the volunteers must complete 30 hours of training and sign an oath of confidentiality. They must also have a police check done. Our volunteers provide active, compassionate care when the goal is not cure.
