If you have a loved one who has been admitted to the palliative care unit at Nanaimo Hospital, you will have access to the support provided by Hospice Volunteers.

Volunteer Hours on PCU
Nanaimo Hospice volunteers are available on the unit every day from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. in cluding weekends, and 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, to provide support to patients and their family members.

Volunteer Support
Volunteers provide practical, emotional, and spiritual care to patients and family.

Reiki & Relaxation
Volunteers from the Hospice Self-Care Clinic are available, upon request for patients and family members. Just notify the Volunteer on duty and it will be arranged.

Comfort Cushions
These soft and downy little cushions are distributed by Nanaimo Hospice volunteers at the Palliative Care Unit. They were made with the comfort of patients and family in mind. They can be used to ease pressure points, to support your neck, or to hold close in times of emotional distress. Ask a volunteer for a cushion when needed.
