We are looking for Patient Companionship Volunteers at Kindred at Home Hospice, formerly Gentiva Hospice, to visit patients on hospice residing in South St. Louis County and Jefferson County.
During these visits volunteers may read to patients, write letters for them, play music, games, share conversation and hobbies or simply hold their hand so they are not alone. Comprehensive training and orientation for hospice volunteering is provided. If you are interested in this exciting opportunity, please contact Emily Jokerst, Manager of Volunteer Services at (314) 275-6100. We look forward to hearing from you!
Our mission is to help patients remain at home and in their own communities, surrounded by friends and family while receiving the highest quality, most compassionate home- based care possible.
I believe in helping others as a hospice volunteer.
Give your time, your talents and your heart...
Hospice is a medical specialty dedicated to the support and care of persons with limited life expectancies so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. The hospice philosophy focuses on maintaining the quality of the patient’s life. With its dedicated team of interdisciplinary health care professionals and volunteers, Kindred at Home provides caring support for the patient and their family.
Our Volunteer Program
Volunteers are an integral part of the hospice philosophy. Hospice volunteers are there to hold a hand and listen, read or write a letter, run errands or even help out in our office. Volunteers are there to step in when a family member needs a break, and are there for the family and friends after their loved one has passed away. No matter what your skills, talents or motivation, we have the opportunity for you to help.
