Companionship Volunteer for Hospice Patients & Families

Save to Favorites

Companionship volunteers are needed to visit with and enrich the quality of life for a patient with a life-shortening who is receiving hospice care. Thiis program, with adequate training, allows volunteers to be matched one on one with a patient. The volunteer will be able to have his/her autonomy to choose various ways to offer kindness through companionship, which may include general dialogue, reading, sharing musical talents and at times, just simply holdig the holding their hand. The volunteer can also set their own schedule that is convenient for both parties. Typically, a volunteer would make a companionship visit 2-4 times monthly from approx. 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Additionally, visits could involve helping the family cope by offering respite time as the family runs errands or running errands for them, helping with light housework, or helping to prepare meals.
