Visit our patients in their homes, in long term care or assisted living facilities, or at one of our Community Hospice inpatient care centers. You may choose to spend quality time reading, taking walks, writing letters or simply enjoying conversations with patients. Volunteers give family caregivers an opportunity to run personal errands or take some quality respite time away from their day-to-day duties. Patient visits usually last two hours or less. Specialized training is provided.

Description
Community Hospice volunteers are vital members of the hospice care team. And whether they offer companionship and a listening ear to patients and family members, help with pricing donated items at the Thrift Shop or assist at fundraising events, there's a volunteer opportunity for everyone!
Many volunteers visit patients in their homes, at nursing homes or assisted living facilities, or at Community Hospice inpatient care centers while receiving short-term, acute care.
They spend quality time reading, taking walks, writing letters, or simply enjoying conversations with patients. They also offer family caregivers a chance to run personal errands or otherwise take a break from their day-to-day duties.
