Please visit the new page to apply.
Do you have a caring and compassionate heart for those in their final days of life? The Gentiva Hospice- Avon Team is in need of Vigil Volunteers like you.
The Vigil Volunteer offers companionship, comfort and presence to patients during the time
immediately prior to their death. Support can be provided to patients who have no family to be
with them or to provide support and guidance to families and caregivers, helping to relieve the
unknown; this may also include staff if the patient resides at a facility. Support is provided in a
variety of ways, including being a calm presence, talking and listening to the family/ caregivers,
or sharing silence.
Please reach out to our Gentiva Hospice- West team for more information on offering your much needed services to others.
