We're looking for friendly people to make hour-long visits once a week.
Hospice volunteers help add to the quality of a patient's time at the end of life's journey. Typical activities include - visiting, reading, listening to music and providing support to the patient's family. Visits to patients are made in their homes or elder-care facilities in the DFW metroplex. Although our office is in Flower Mound, we have patients all over the DFW metroplex. We currently have several patients in Collin County but sadly, have very few available volunteers in Plano, Frisco, or McKinney. Volunteers are matched to patients located near them.
Recommended commitment level: one-hour visits each week, hopefully at least three visits per month. No special skills needed.
Training takes about three hours and occurs in our office at 700 Parker Square Road in Flower Mound. The next training session will take place on Friday, February 16 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Thank you so much for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you!
