Volunteer hospice group offers ‘Living Alone Now’ workshop

Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County is hosting “Living Alone Now,” a workshop set for 2-4 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, at Hospice House, 810 S. Albert St., Port Angeles.

The workshop is designed to assist those experiencing a recent transition due to loss of a life partner and facing for the first time issues of home and auto maintenance.

The workshop is free and open to the public. As space is limited, pre-registration is required by calling 360-452-1511 or emailing vsm@vhocc.org.

Michael Bucierka will provide information on what systems in your home need regular maintenance to avoid an emergency, and what to do in case of an emergency. He will also provide suggestions on what maintenance can be performed by the homeowner and when professional assistance is recommended.

Bucierka brings to the workshop extensive experience as a former licensed general contractor, home inspector and residential maintenance professional.

Operating with a team of registered nurses and trained volunteers, Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County supports terminally ill patients and their families emotionally, physically and spiritually. Ongoing grief support services and loan of medical equipment are also available to anyone in the community.

The organization does not charge for its services and does not bill any government agency, depending instead on private donations and bequests.
