Become An Angel, Become a Hospice Volunteer
Voted #1 Hospice in Beaumont Texas
Volunteers are an integral part of the hospice team. As a friend and companion to the patient, volunteers also support caregivers by allowing them some free time and relief from their daily responsiblities and stress. High school and college volunteers can benefit greatly in win-win partnerships that serve older adults. They often learn about career choices they may not have considered. On college resumes, potential employers look for service as an indication of good character. Some hospices and other healthcare facilities have teenage and young adult volunteers doing the following assignments: 1. Perform in-office work including filing, faxing, and preparing admission packets. 2. Host tea parties, movies, and other social events at nursing homes. 3. Provide one-on-one time and attention by reading to, writing letters for, playing games with, or simply talking and listening to patients. 4. Videotape, record, or make booklets of patients’ life reviews. 5. Assist families with yard work, cleaning out the garage, planting flowers, small paint jobs, and home-building projects (i.e. wheelchair ramps). 6. Assist patients and families by doing errands, walking dogs, picking up groceries, etc.
