Do you love to visit people and make them feel important? We are in need of a volunteer in the Dickson, TN area who would like to brighten a hospice patient's day be visiting them a few times each month. These visits are just casual, friendly visits to make our shut-in patients feel important and cared for. We currently have an opportunity for a caregiver to sit with a patient 6-9:00 PM on Wednesday nights so the caregiver can go to night classes.
For the safety of our patient, we do require all volunteers to undergo a background check, drug test, take a TB skin test, and undergo training/orientation.
This is a great way to get involved in your community and to enrich the remaining time our hospice patient's have with us.
