ABOUT US
Our Roze Room Hospice Volunteers/Interns offer soul support
and compassionate companionship to patients and families at the most vulnerable
time in our patients’ lives. As the founder of Roze Room Hospice, I am honored
to celebrate our third decade in the industry and to be surrounded by dedicated
and caring professionals. Roze Room Hospice was formed to honor the memory of my
grandmother Roza, whose favorite flower was the rose. Integrating her name and
her favorite flower into our organizational name reminds me of our daily
purpose and mission. Therefore, all we do at Roze Room Hospice is geared toward
the patient and family. Our goal is to provide the best care possible to our
patients and treat each patient with love, compassion and dignity. Our
volunteers are an integral part of our organization, and we look forward to you
joining our family. Lena Beker, Founder
