Serenity Hospice is seeking compassionate volunteers to join our hospice team in Oregon City and surrounding areas to provide companionship and support to individuals and their families during their end-of-life journey.
About Us:
Serenity Hospice is committed to providing exceptional quality of life to the individuals and families in our care. We strive to ensure that every person receives compassionate and dignified care at the end of life. By volunteering with us, you will play a crucial role in bringing comfort to those in need.

- Companionship: Spend quality time with patients, engaging in conversation, playing games, or simply being a supportive presence.
- Emotional Support: Provide a listening ear and offer empathy and compassion to patients and their families during challenging times.
- Caregiver Breaks: Your companionship to our in-home patients can give the gift of time to caregivers to run errands or grab a much-needed cup of coffee with a friend, knowing their loved one is in good hands while they’re gone.
- Caregiver Support: Some volunteers enjoy doing light household chores, yard work, or running errands for caregivers.
- Vigil Support: Provide a comforting presence during a patient's final hours. We will train you so you feel prepared and supported by the hospice team.
- Specialized Skills: If you have specialized skills such as music therapy, art therapy, or pet therapy, you can use them to bring joy to patients.

Volunteering with hospice is a profoundly rewarding experience that offers personal growth and fulfillment. As a hospice volunteer, you will:
- Make a meaningful difference in the lives of others during a vulnerable time.
- Gain valuable experience in end-of-life care and compassionate communication.
