Patient Care Volunteer Duluth Inpatient Unit

Save to Favorites

All it takes is compassion and a little time to become a hospice volunteer for VITAS Healthcare(r) of program location.

Hospice volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their families at a critical time. Volunteers are trained in listening skills, family dynamics and the right words to say to terminally ill patients and their family caregivers. Assignments are made according to the volunteer’s location preference and work and family schedules.

There is a need for volunteers at VITAS’ inpatient unit Duluth, GA.

"Volunteers at an inpatient unit enjoy their work because they feel like part of the hospice team." "And because it is open 24 hours seven days a week, even a busy person can find a few hours to volunteer in an inpatient unit."

Volunteers also like the variety of tasks at an inpatient unit. Volunteers may choose to:

• visit with patients and family members

• serve patients at mealtime

• offer spiritual support

• offer to polish nails or other pampering

• answer phones and call lights

• sit vigil with patient

• Bring your certified pet to visit

• Play soothing music
