About Stadshospice Utrecht

Not everyone can or wants to die at home. In this case, people are welcome in the hospice in the last weeks of their lives.

Stadshospice Utrecht has room for six seriously ill people with a life expectancy of less than three months. Our volunteers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They support our guests and their loved ones in the daily care as you would at home. The general practitioner is responsible for medical care and there is a nurse in the house every day.

In order to guarantee the homely atmosphere in the hospice as much as possible, volunteers have been chosen who take on the household tasks as well as care and accompanying tasks. “Being there” is the basis. No medical knowledge is required to do this work. A big heart and respect for our guests and the process they go through. Volunteers are supported by the coordinators and receive training.

We ask volunteers to be available on a weekly basis, of which at least one night every four weeks.

At the moment we have a shortage of volunteers who can do night shifts. If you're only available at night, we'd love to hear from you too!
