Do you have some TIME to spend with our patients sitting, talking, reading or socializing?
If you have TIME, a caring heart, and a warm smile, then Comfort Hospice Care is seeking YOU!
We are looking for Hospice Volunteers to provide the extra love and care our patients and their families need at this time in their life.
As a Hospice volunteer, you will be oriented to the Hospice Program so you can offer support, companionship and compassionate care to our patients and their families.
The volunteer’s schedule is flexible and you will be placed with patients in their homes as close to your home as possible.
Comfort Hospice Care is in need of volunteers that can spend time in patients homes in the Las Vegas area during the daytime hours on weekdays so caregivers can leave the home to take care of business.
Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain love for one another. - Erma Bombeck
