Friendly Visitor Volunteers bring the gift of friendship and a comforting presence to our patients. Volunteers enhance the quality of our patient's lives through regular visits and social interaction. This may include reading to a patient, going for a social visit, taking walks together or simply holding a hand and listening. Visits can range 1 to 4 times a month and are flexible, based on your schedule and availability.
We provide training and ongoing support. Background and reference checks required.

Mission Statement
Heartland Hospice is dedicated to providing quality care to patients and families that are living in this community. Heartland takes a team approach to palliative (comfort) care for those living with a terminal illness, providing emotional support to both patients and their families. Services are provided either in the patient's home, assisted living or nursing facilities. The mission of Heartland Hospice is to enrich lives by providing caring support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses. Volunteers help improve the quality of patients' lives through social interaction and companionship.
Description
Heartland Hospice is an organization that provides a unique type of care to patients with a terminal illness and to support their loved ones. Hospice focuses on enhancing the quality of life, rather than the length of life.
At Heartland Hospice, we consider it a privilege to help patients fulfill life with dignity, hope and compassion. Heartland's team approach to meeting patients and families physical, emotional, and spiritual needs would not be complete without the care of our wonderful volunteers!
Volunteers play a vital role in our organization and are rewarded with the kind of gratification that comes from helping others.
