Check-In Caller- Virtual support for new Hospice patients.

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

AccentCare hospice is looking for individuals who are interested in calling new hospice patients/families to check in on their first week. We want to make sure our patients and families feel supported and have their questions answered during their first week of hospice services. Volunteers will reach out each week to new admissions and ask them a series of questions to gauge how they are doing. They will then report back to Volunteer Services of any concerns or needs that arise. We will provide volunteers with a script that they can base their conversations off of. Do you have time each week to call some new hospice patients and families to let them know someone cares? Can you help make the first week of hospice services just a little smoother by being a listening ear? Calls will be made from the comfort of your own home on your own time.

Seasons is a great organization with the goal to provide patients with all the resources to live fully before they pass on. I signed up for training to become a volunteer at one of the inpatient facilities and am eagerly anticipating getting started with the program. The training is a bit intensive but it's definitely worth it and very much needed to give volunteers an accurate idea of what to expect.

In spring 2012, I began as an Indirect Patient Care Volunteer with Seasons. From day one, I have found the entire staff full of great appreciation for the work performed by their volunteers. Their "thank you's" are a constant. I look forward to each and every day that I spend at Seasons,and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking to get involved with volunteering.
