Hospice Volunteers Needed in Jackson, Albion and Marshall
ORGANIZATION: Heartland Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
Friendly volunteers visit hospice patients either in the patients home or facility. Volunteers at Heartland are an intricate part of our team and are highly valued. We provide a background check, fingerprinting, TB testing and training. Once all of that is complete your volunteering can begin and is very flexible to your schedule. Our goal is to visit the patient once a week. The visits consist of a variety of things depending on the patients needs, reading , talking, watching TV, singing, etc. Volunteers are also there for the caregiver for the patients that are in their own homes. Sometimes they need to go grocery shopping but can't leave their loved one so we could provide that through volunteering. Volunteers make a big difference. We need volunteers in Jackson, Marshall and Albion areas.
If you would like more information and this sounds like a great opportunity for you please contact me at
