Companionship Volunteers Needed!

Save to Favorites

Gentiva Hospice is looking for companionship volunteers to offer their time and availability to give back to those who need it. Companionship volunteers are an important part of hospice services and provide so much to those on services.

If you are searching for a way to make a difference in the lives of others, you belong here. Hospice volunteers are a valuable part of our care team. Based on your interests and preferences, receive specific volunteer training to help improve the quality of life for others. Our office covers 3 counties in TN- Cumberland, Bledsoe, and Fentress.

From providing companionship, to running errands, you can choose how to service and how often! Here are a few example of how our companionship volunteers serve:

• Hold a hand, share a story
• Send a card
• Listen, read, or sing
• Make gifts for patients
• Play games
• Run errands or perform light housekeeping
• Share flowers, bake, or garden
• Make phone calls
• Attend community events

Our agencies also offer veteran-to-veteran opportunities and participate in the national We Honor Veterans programs.

NO medical experience needed as volunteers DO NOT perform nursing duties or dispense medications.

We ARE accepting volunteer amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Our volunteers are help to help meet non-medical needs of our patients, their families, and our Gentiva staff.

**Due to the requirements set by the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS), all volunteers are required to be vaccinated for Covid-19**
