Our volunteers are essential to what we do at Centrica Care Navigators, and they are nothing less than extraordinary in their generosity and care. As a Centrica volunteer, you do not provide medicine or physical care as the physicians, nurses, and aides do. You can brighten someone’s day and help ease their suffering simply by being present, holding a hand, and lending an ear. We will help match you with assignments that fit your unique skills, interests, and schedule. We also provide extensive training and support, so you feel prepared and confident for your role.
Hospice services are flexible and driven by each client’s unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Clients may be living in their private residence, a community care facility, or in one of our agency-operated hospice sites. Volunteers have an array of opportunities including:
- Companionship
- Respite
- Light Housekeeping/Yard Work
- Transportation/Errands
- Story Catcher
- Pet Therapy
- Notary
- Cosmetology
- Fundraising/Events
- Administrative Support
- Ambassador/Speaker
Becoming a hospice volunteer could be the most rewarding experience of your life. Contact us today to learn more about this unique opportunity!

Description
Originally founded as Hospice Care of Southwest Michigan, Centrica Care Navigators is a nonprofit organization that was created to serve the communities where we live. We focus on you as a whole person - not just your illness or disease - and surround you with a circle of care and compassion for your body, mind, and spirit. We’ve established a long legacy of innovating to provide a better, more comprehensive circle of care for you and your family. During our 40-plus years of caring for our community, we’ve continually expanded our services and reach to serve more of our neighbors at different points in their care journey.
We introduced the first inpatient hospice sites in our region. We are pioneers of delivering palliative care at home. Our adult day services give families vital support and freedom. And we’ll keep striving to improve as medical science and technology advance - all the while staying centered on your needs.
Centrica Care Navigators serves Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Eaton, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties.
