Making ordinary extraordinary!

Help make ordinary moments, extraordinary.

If you have a kind heart, are a good listener, and want your volunteer time to truly mean something, this opportunity may be the perfect fit.

AdvisaCare Home Care and Hospice exists to support people in the most challenging times of their lives. The volunteer is a part of a professional care team that comes alongside patients and families and helps however we can.

WHAT DOES A HOSPICE VOLUNTEER IN PATIENT SUPPORT DO?

Patient needs vary, but these are some of the common things we do:

    • Listen to stories and learn about pictures from a photo album
    • Have a conversation about their life
    • Sit with them and listen to music or watch TV
    • Give the family a short respite
    • Do their hobbies with them
    • Get them a small snack or water

If this sounds like something you'd like to do, you will receive hospice classroom training, supplemental healthcare training, and will have a joint first patient visit with the volunteer coordinator fo you are feeling comfortable.

We are looking for an hour a week, but if you have more time to spare, that's ok too!
