Do you enjoy spending time with people and learning about their unique life stories or lessons? The elderly, in particular, have had opportunities to experience many of life's ups and downs and have lived through many world events. During our younger years, we often dwell on problems, focus on the past or worry about the future. While this is normal and sometimes necessary, it can become all-consuming. Seniors who have experienced great joy or conversely, have weathered many storms can help us look at things differently, often in a more positive light. At Gentiva Hospice, we are in the business of caring for the elderly, whose wisdom is celebrated and revered. If you would like to learn about an elder's life story, or just provide companionship by sitting quietly, reading a book, or watching a movie together, consider becoming a hospice volunteer. Our hospice patients reside in assisted living and memory care facilities, nursing homes, and in their own residences. We hope to hear from you!

Are you ready to embark on a journey that will be life-changing for you and another individual? If so, consider becoming a hospice volunteer! Our hospice volunteers make meaningful connections with patients by offering comfort, companionship and support during a time of transition. A common sentiment voiced by a volunteer is their love of learning about a patient's life story. It is not necessary to have experience in hospice or health care. The only requirements are a compassionate heart, a listening ear, and a comforting voice. Our Volunteer Coordinator will provide you with ongoing training and support. In addition, you will have a network off like-minded individuals who have a wealth of experience in the area of end-of-life care. If this opportunity speaks to you, please reach out to us today!

Are you a recent high school graduate or college student thinking about pursuing a career in medicine, nursing or allied health fields? If so, you may want to consider becoming a hospice volunteer. In this role you will experience direct patient contact and observe what constitutes comfort care without curative intent. Our hospice patients reside in nursing homes and memory care facilities, extended care facilities and in their homes. Medical schools and nursing programs seek students who are compassionate and dedicated to helping people rather than those that just recite clinical terminology to patients. As a volunteer you will provide companionship and support to individuals who are at the end of their life's journey. Over time, you will likely build unforgettable relationships with patients while learning their life stories. Each hospice patient's journey is unique and you will have the privilege of being present during this most private time in their life. A typical visit with a patient may include reading a book or watching a movie together, talking, doing a favorite craft or simply holding a patient's hand. Our Volunteer Coordinator provides comprehensive training and ongoing support. If you want to gain valuable patient experience before enrolling in medical school, a nursing program, or various allied health programs please contact us below!
