Companionship/Help a Senior

Save to Favorites

Being a Hospice Volunteer can happen in so many ways...

• Providing Companionship and Socialization for a patient in their home
• Help with light housework (Example: laundry, walking a dog or pulling weeds)
• Keeping a patient company so that their caregiver can run errands or just have a break
• Grocery shopping/Running errands
• Play cards, watch movies, read a book to a patient
• So many more options

There are lots of opportunities and we work with you to match you with someone that would work best for what you are looking for. Here are a few examples of different types of patients and situations that you may want to volunteer for. Patients living in home by themselves Patients living in home with family/caregivers Patients living in a group home or assisted living Patients that are able to communicate and share life stories Patients that are bed bound and non-communicative (This would be a situation where maybe you are providing relief for a caregiver to run errands by just staying with them). Application Process:
1. Fill out Application (I can mail, email or fax it to you) 2. Bring in the Application and do a Urine Drug test in the office 3. We will start the background process (Online), once that comes back... 4. Get fingerprinted (we give you the paperwork and let you know where to go) 5. After all of this is complete, we will do a brief orientation and the online training can be assigned 6. Get you out there seeing patients and changing lives!!!! All costs incurred with testing, background and fingerprinting is covered by us. The process is the same we do for employees since we need to ensure the safety of our patients and volunteers. Please call if you have any questions at all.
