About
Make a real difference in someone's life!
Great Lakes Caring Hospice, a leading care provider in the Midwest, is looking for compassionate volunteers willing to donate their time to provide exceptional end-of-life care to local hospice patients and their families.
Great Lakes Caring is looking for Companion Volunteers who will visit patients in local nursing facilities or private homes. The Companion Volunteer will provide companionship, play cards/games, watch TV, take the patient out into the garden for fresh air, read to the patient, etc. These volunteers are essential for the overall well-being of hospice patients!
There is no physical care involved. Hours are very flexible, weekdays, evenings or weekends. Typically, we ask that you visit your assigned patient 1-2 hours per week or several times a month.
