We are looking for volunteers to provide brief caregiver relief to terminally ill patients. Often times caregivers need to run errands, take a nap or sit in the back yard in a lawn chair just to get a small break in their caregiving responsibilities. Volunteers do not provide any clinical jobs such as giving medicine, breathing treatments or helping with potty needs.

In addition, the patient's enjoy the companionship of the volunteers while their loved one is away. Volunteers only provide respite a few hours at a time.

Mission Statement

At Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, we believe hospice is not a place, but rather a philosophy of care. Our goal is to bring dignity and comfort home by offering compassionate care to patients and their families during the final stages of life.

Description

Enhabit is looking for direct patient and administrative volunteers to provide support to patients during their final months and weeks of life. Volunteers provide non-medical services and respite time for caregivers and family members. As a hospice volunteer, you will be given choices as to how much time and what types of things you want to do. Weekly patient calls, flexible free training. Enhance your resume and scholarship applications.

A few ways you can help as a hospice volunteer is by running errands for patients and families, playing games or reading with patients, walking and caring for family pets, or even creating a photo album of the patient and their family.
