Gentiva Hospice-Joplin, MO is seeking Companionship Visitor Volunteers:
Volunteers have flexibility; the opportunities may be once monthly to once weekly depending on your availability. Our patients reside in private homes, local nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities.
Gentiva Hospice offers volunteer opportunities for caring individuals who wish to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families. Here are some ways you can serve as a hospice volunteer:
- Companionship: Spending time with patients by offering a smile, holding their hand, sharing stories, listening, reading, or singing.
- Care Giver Respite: Offering scheduled breaks for caregivers, allowing them to rest, manage personal tasks, or simply recharge.
- Veteran-to-Veteran Support: If you are a Veteran, you can support fellow service members during their end-of-life journey.
Our Volunteers are 'hands off' and no medical training is required; all you need is a compassionate heart. Gentiva’s complete volunteer training covers grief counseling, emotional support, and end-of-life care. Your gift of time provides immeasurable rewards!
