COMPANION & PATIENT SUPPORT

Save to Favorites

Volunteers are especially needed in Upper Dauphin County, Cumberland County, and York County.

YOU can make a difference in the life of someone at a very difficult time in his or her life!
How can you make that happen?

• Offer companionship and share a few hours of your time each month;
• Offer a smile, a hug, a kind word;
• Listen;
• Reminisce;
• Be a presence for someone who is lonely;
• Sit with a patient to give a weary caregiver a much needed break;
• Run errands for someone who can no longer leave home;
• Read or provide music (instrument, singing, or cell phone!);
• Share your certified/trained best friend (dog, cat, bunny, miniature horse!) and see a face light up immediately!

Hospice volunteers make an AMAZING difference! And, serving with us provides volunteers with the self-satisfaction that they are part of a team who's goal is to provide patients, caregivers and families with the most comfortable and compassionate end-of-life experience possible.

Volunteers are required to complete an Orientation which can be done as a self-study in the comfort of you own home and at your own pace. Volunteers also have a background check completed and a 2-step PPD (TB) Test. Any costs are covered by Homeland Hospice.

Needs exist today - in your community - and we would welcome the opportunity to talk more with you about how to get connected!
