Patient & Family Services

These volunteers are in the homes spending time with our patients and their families. Because many of our patients are older, and sometimes lonely, our volunteers are really just required to be a companion-keeping them company, having a conversation, maybe even working on a simple project. Our patient volunteers should be good listeners, and have the ability to deal with death and dying.

Our volunteer coordinator puts a lot of care and thought into pairing volunteers and patients. We take the volunteer’s personality and comfort level into account when choosing the patient for them to work with, because it’s truly important for them to have a genuine connection.

Community Services

Our community service volunteers represent Ardent out in the community. They’re required to have a strong understanding of Ardent’s hospice and care philosophy. Community volunteers accompany our team at marketing and community events, and speaking engagements as required.

Office Services

Office service volunteers provide clerical support to the Ardent hospice program. This may include answering phones and emails, preparing handouts and admissions packets, and writing newsletters and thank you notes. These volunteers should be organized and able to work under minimal supervision.

Bereavement Services

The main responsibility of a bereavement service volunteer is to provide support to families during the bereavement process. They offer companionship and assistance to families, and should have the ability to deal with death and dying.
