Patient Visit Volunteer - Delafield

Save to Favorites

Gentiva Hospice not only cares for our patients, but offers support for their families as well. Volunteer visit with patients as you look at pictures, listen to favorite music, play cards or listen to old stories. Also, volunteers meet with family members or caregivers providing support, friendship & companionship, this may be a cup of coffee, talk on current events or chat and visit.
As a volunteer for Gentiva, you can make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. After completing our volunteer training course, you will visit patients in their homes (be that a skilled nursing facility, assisted living or a free standing house), providing companionship and friendly visits.
Volunteers are assigned to visit patients that live in their neighborhood so the burden of travel is minimal. In most situations, visiting hours are flexible and you will be able to visit patients on your schedule, when it is most convenient for you.
Visitor volunteers do NOT perform any medical or personal cares and do not transfer patients, administer any medicines, take patients to the bathroom, etc. Your job is just to visit as a friendly neighbor would!
