Volunteering with AccentCare Hospice is a selfless mission of compassionate presence. Time with our patients is when we begin to deeply understand that who we are is a gift to be given. It is a time to see the truth and reality that our patients are a treasure to be received in a delicate exchange.

As a member of our patient care team, you will bring joy to our patients and families through meaningful connection. The cyclical nature of giving and receiving fuels our hospice community. Through intentional and collaborative planning, we create an experience that simulates activities and environments our patients enjoy. As you give your time to listen to life stories, share hobbies and reflectively interact as our patients share hopes and fears they face every day, you will participate alongside your patient as they live life in the transition. You will bring calm reassurance that what matters most is not how much time we have, it is how we live each present moment.

Being part of the AccentCare Volunteer Team carries the responsibility of becoming an advocate for our patients.

You will have opportunities to play board games with your patient or sit peacefully while reading aloud your patient’s favorite novel. Your patient might ask you to take them to the piano to play their favorite songs and reminisce their favorite days as a concert pianist. There will be other moments when you sit close, holding your patient’s hand as you sing their favorite Frank Sinatra song.

As a volunteer care team member, there are several programs to support your community through your passions and hobbies.
