COVID testing and vaccinations not required. Will instruct how to use PPE safety equipment, and provide the PPE items.

We visit in homes with patients that are terminally ill, not contagious diseases. The patient visit is for companionship and friendship only. We are seeking those who might read to the patient, watch TV with the patient, make puzzles, play games, make crafts, whatever the patient is able and willing to do. Our goal is to be there for the patient, and provide conversation and companionship. We do not prepare meals, spend more than 2 hours at a time, or run errands for the patients. This is time they asked for a person so they can avoid loneliness and depression.

Visits should be 1-2 hours maximum and once or twice a week as determined by your availability and your schedule. You are the volunteer and we want to make this assignment easy for you, by keeping you close to where you work or live, so travel to a minimum. We appreciate your willingness to help however you can.
