Being a full-time caregiver is an act of profound love, but it can also be exhausting. We at Cardinal Hospice are looking for compassionate individuals to step in for just 2 hours once or twice a month, to give family caregivers the brief, essential break they need to recharge.
As a Respite Volunteer, you are not there to provide any medical or personal cares to hospice patients, you are there to provide a supportive, watchful presence. Your visit allows a child, a spouse, or a friend to run an errand, take a nap, or just go and have some coffee, knowing that their loved one is not alone.
Requirements:
Volunteer Application, Orientation, and Training
Clean Background Check
Reliability (these families depend on you to be on time and available if you make a comment to a day/time)
