Are you a believer who would love to make an impact on someone's life? Hospice patients need companions like yourself who are willing to read the Bible or play some music to them. This is a perfect opportunity to share the Word and light up someone's day.

For musicians-- no level of performer is required; anyone willing to play an instrument or sing is welcome. Instruments can include guitar, piano, violin, chello, saxophone, etc.

FAQ's:

  1. Can I choose which companionship activities I'd like to do? Yes!
  2. Can I volunteer around my work/school schedule? Yes! Patients can have visitors throughout the days, evenings and weekends.
  3. How often would I need to volunteer? As often as you'd like. You can do once a month, twice a month or weekly if you'd like
  4. Can I shadow someone first to see if it would be a good fit? Yes, email me and we can set this up!
  5. How long would I have to commit to volunteering? As long as you'd like.
  6. Is medical training required? No.
  7. Would we have to do any personal care for the patients (including eating, bathing, etc)? No. This is not allowed to be done by our volunteers.
  8. Do we have to be vaccinated? No!
  9. Do we have to have a valid drivers license and car insurance? Yes.

About Rivercross Hospice

Location:

611 E. William, Wichita, KS 67202, US

Mission Statement

Rivercross Hospice is dedicated to providing and promoting the best quality of care for patients and families facing end-of-life issues.

Description

What is Hospice?

Hospice manages pain, controls symptoms, and understands that emotional and spiritual stresses are as significant as physical pain.

The Hospice Team supports and comforts terminally ill patients and their loved ones. Hospice is not about death, but rather about the quality of life as it nears its end. It is not a place to send people to die and it is not about last-minute hospital care.

Rivercross Hospice treats the whole person, not just the disease, providing care for the mind, body and spirit. The Hospice Benefit is not just for the patient. We also provide care and support for the family and loved ones during their time of need.

Hospice offers dignified living at the end of life.
