Take the opportunity to serve by providing companionship to an elderly man.
Once a week go and sit together in his nursing home and simply provide company.
Patients nearing the end of life often time would like company to read to them, talk with them, or just spend some time together. Volunteers must be 18 years of age, have a clean background check, drug screen, and have a valid driver's license. We will provide a current TB test and CPR training if you do not already have one.
Volunteers can serve for as little as 4 hours per month, but there is oppoirtunity for more. These positions will require a willingness to drive to the location of the patient. Orientation is provided! If you are friendly and love to help, then we are looking for you!

Mission Statement
16-1646414
The mission of Curo Health Services, and its hospice affiliates, is to honor life and offer compassion to individuals, and their families, when facing a life-limiting illness.
Description
The services you will give as a Hospice volunteer will profoundly improve the quality of our patient's lives. Friendly visits enable families to keep their loved ones at home, around the people they love, and the things they love. Assisting with errands helps a tired family cope with their many challenges and allows them time with their loved one. Simply holding a patient's hand can ease their mind and comfort their spirit.Volunteering takes no advanced medical training or great commitment. It can be as simple as reading to, or spending time with a patient a few hours a week. It is small deeds of kindness that so profoundly enhance the lives of our patients and those who love them.
There are many kinds of Hospice volunteers. Our volunteers include individuals, families, businesses, youth and school groups, civic organizations and churches. Volunteer candidates go through interview and screening processes to ensure the safety of our patients and their families. All hospice volunteers are given assignments that best suit their time, skills and interests.
Our volunteers are thoroughly trained and supported in the skills they need for the volunteer role. Training includes scheduled sessions, individual training and on-site training for groups and organizations.
