Summer is here! Take advantage of the nice weather and vacation from school and work by sharing your time, skills, and talents! Hospice Compassus seeks volunteers of all ages who are kind-hearted and compassionate. We are looking specifically in Montgomery County, PA for individuals and organizations to participate in their engaging volunteer program. As little as one hour a week or a few hours a month are helpful, and arrangements can be customized to accommodate each volunteer’s personal schedule.

Life Choice / Hospice Compassus Volunteers are trained to support terminally ill individuals and their loved ones. The wide variety of volunteer roles include; companionship volunteers, pet therapists, Reiki volunteers and administrative volunteers. Training will be provided to make sure each volunteer is given the instruction needed to guarantee a positive experience.

Below is a list of current volunteer positions:

Bedside Volunteers - Visit with and support patients by playing music, writing letters or reading from a patient’s favorite book.

Alternative/Complementary Therapy Volunteers - Provide comfort and relaxation to patients using music, reiki, reflexology, massage, aromatherapy or pet therapy. These volunteers are professionally trained prior to joining the team. All pet therapy animals must be certified.

Bereavement Volunteers - Make phone calls to caregivers and loved ones to provide emotional support. Or assist chaplains or bereavement coordinators with planning and carrying out memorial services.

Administrative Volunteers - Assemble informational packets, file, perform data entry, and other clerical duties.
