Seeking volunteers to sit with patients and provide friendship and companionship. We offer open availability and close to your location. Our goal is 1-2 hours per week, every week, no travel except to and from volunteer location. No hands on care.
Patients in this season of life, need support and someone to be present with them. We make ourselves available to read, watch TV, play a game, go for a walk (or push a wheelchair), and many other fun things. Some patients like to garden, talk about their pets, play with the pets, laugh and be a part of something other than their condition. You can be that person making a difference for them, with an opportunity valued for years to come.
