WesleyLife Hospice - visit with patients in a community setting

Save to Favorites

WesleyLife Hospice is looking to add friendly and compassionate individuals to give the gift of time and presence through visits. Our patients need companionship more than ever after a year of so much isolation. Finding common interests through conversation, listening to cherished memories, holding a hand, playing a game, or taking a stroll are all things you could do to brighten someone's day. By providing this extra companionship at the end stage of life, volunteers can touch the hearts of our patients and even change their life - or your own!

Opportunities are available in WesleyLife and non-WesleyLife community settings in Polk, Dallas, Boone, Story, Marion, Jasper and Warren counties.

WesleyLife Hospice has certain requirements in place when volunteering in person to protect our residents, staff and volunteers during COVID. Screenings and masks are required at minimum. Each community may have additional requirements (i.e. a rapid COVID test that would be provided upon entrance).
