Be a part of our special team of Encompass Hospice Volunteers. We care for our patients in the place they call home -- a private residence, skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility, or other inpatient setting. Just a few hours a week can make a lasting impact on the lives of others.
Volunteer Opportunity:
Direct Patient Care - Sitting with patients, reading, working puzzles, watching tv/movies and sharing life stories. This may also include Caregiver Respite where you will visit with the patient while the caregiver runs errands, takes time for themselves or goes to appointments.
Must be able to pass a drug screen, background check, and be at least 17 years old.
If you are interested in this wonderful volunteer opportunity, please email Susan Tomlin at Susan.Tomlin@encompasshealth.com
