Hospice Volunteers
ORGANIZATION: Franklin County Home Health Agency
Please visit the new page to apply.
Hospice volunteers provide respite for family members and companionship to the client in their home setting. The ideal hospice volunteer is a caring, competent individual who is comfortable with end of life issues. Hospice volunteers do not provide medical care, rather support the family at a difficult time. Hospice volunteers also help support our work in many other ways as they are willing and able, including administrative tasks.
Training and screening is required to become a hospice volunteer. Our next training is scheduled for Spring 2017. Pre-registration for training is required.
