Teen Companionship

Crossroads Hospice is looking for committed and caring individuals to add to our team of volunteers.

Volunteers provide companionship and support for hospice patients and their families in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and their own private homes throughout Northeast Ohio. Individuals may read, play board games, talk, sing, or share stories.

You decide how much time you can give a month. We will match your interests and schedule.

Volunteering during the COVID-19 pandemic:

Volunteers are still able to visit with patients, as long as the volunteers abide by safety protocols. We also have volunteers assisting in the office and making crafts for patients.

Description

OUR DIFFERENCE

We ask our patients to "Expect More" from us with one-of-a-kind programs like:

  • Gift of a Day: Patients are asked, "If you had one day to live, what would you want it to look like?" Our staff, volunteers, and local businesses work together to bring these heart-warming "Gifts" to life.
  • Evenmore Care: We have lower-than-average patient-to-staff ratio that allow us to see patients virtually every day. More patient contact means we can identify an increased or sudden decline and initiate our Watch Program
  • Watch Program: Patients are closely monitored through multiple daily visits to better recognize when passing may be imminent, at which point we exhaust every effort to be by their side.
  • Veteran Program: Honoring patients who served in the military to protect our country. Staff and Volunteers are educated and trained in caring for veterans at the end-of-life.
  • Grief Recovery Program: A special 12 week program, led by our bereavement counselors, helps participants effectively cope with the pain caused by loss

Other Benefits

  • Same day admissions, we do the work for you!
  • Staffed with our own employees 24/7
