ORGANIZATION: Enhabit Hospice

Visiting with our hospice patients and their families means more than anyone can understand. You could bring a smile to their face and joy in their hearts.

We are looking for an individual who can sit with our patients. Someone that can laugh with them, read to them, play a game with them, or even watch television with them. Often times our patients' families just need someone to talk to.

If you think you are that person, then please reach out to us today!

Make time to make a difference

Looking to make a difference in the lives of others? Our hospice volunteers provide comfort and support to patients facing a life-limiting illness.

Become a hospice volunteer

As one of the nation’s largest hospice providers, Enhabit is focused on providing dignity and comfort to patients at the end of life. Hospice is more than just symptom and pain management; it is a philosophy of care designed to treat every physical, spiritual and emotional need of a patient and their loved ones.

One of the ways we are able to provide such comprehensive care is through our hospice volunteers. Volunteers are required by Medicare to be part of the hospice care team with the goal of offering specialized skills and support outside of the clinical team. Volunteers ensure that the patient and family’s needs are met through companionship, assisting with everyday tasks and providing respite time to a patient’s caregivers.

If you want to make an impact and feel a calling to connect with others, we encourage you to join our team of compassionate volunteers today.

What do hospice volunteers do?

Visit with patients in their home setting Provide companionship by listening to patients’ stories and engaging in their interests Help our hospice team understand the needs of the patient and family Provide respite time for the patient’s primary caregiver Sit with patients and loved ones in the last 24 or 48 hours of life Assist branch offices with administrative duties Specialized volunteer services Honoring our veterans

Veteran volunteers provide specialized support and compassion to other veterans at the end of life.

Bereavement support

Bereavement volunteers are trained to provide ongoing check-in calls with family members up to 13 months after the loss of a patient.

Paws for Comfort

Volunteers and their therapy dogs provide emotional support for patients through our "Paws for Comfort" program.
