We are seeking volunteers to provide companionship to Hospice patients in our community. If you have a listening ear, and a warm heart, we need you!!
What you'll do: Visit patients, share stories, play board/card games, read aloud, watch tv together, make a new friend.
Why it's important: Many hospice patients suffer from social isolation. Companionship volunteers help keep the loneliness at bay. They are their patient's champions against the darkness.
How it works: Our Hospice Volunteer Coordinator will ask you questions about what you are and are not comfortable with and use those answers to select an appropriate patient for you. The first time you visit your assigned patient, your Volunteer Coordinator will go with you to help introduce you and support you as needed. Afterwards, should you choose to visit that patient again, you are free to visit on your own as often as you would like.
Requirements:
Volunteer application, Orientation, and Training
Clean Background Check.
