Seeking Compassionate Volunteers for Hospice Patients!

Save to Favorites

Would you like an opportunity to help others and give back to your community? Have you ever thought about volunteering for a Hospice? Did you know that volunteers are the heart and soul of Hospice care? As a Hospice Volunteer, you will be an integral member of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to benefitting patients and their families during a difficult time in their lives.

Patient Care Volunteer

Hospice provides care and comfort to people who are terminally ill and provides support to their families, friends, and caregivers. As a Patient Care Volunteer, you may help in many ways:

• Volunteers provide companionship to patients through conversation, reading, letter writing, music appreciation, movie/TV watching, walking or sitting outside to get some fresh air, and all sorts of hobby sharing.
• Volunteers help patients and their families by running errands, doing light household chores and yard work, and even caring for their pets.
• Volunteers provide respite to family caregivers, so they may take a break from their caregiving duties for couple hours.
• In addition, volunteers who are professional/certified beauticians, massage therapists, or music therapists are highly desired, as well as those who are experienced in providing grief support or medical interpretation.
• Patients with whom one might visit in their home are located throughout the Phoenix Metro area and every effort is made to place volunteers with someone within a comfortable distance.
