This volunteer opportunity is through CorsoCare Hospice & NOT the assisted living facility. Please contact Nikki Gerber, Volunteer Recruiting Specialist/Administrative Assistant via this VolunteerMatch link or at nicole.gerber@corsocare.com or (248) 260-8257.


Can you spare an hour for an elderly hospice patient? In return, you could gain invaluable patient interaction experience! CorsoCare Hospice is seeking compassionate, empathetic college students who are going into the medical, nursing or social work field and are willing to give their time and supportive presence by visiting hospice patients at Independence Village (IV) of Avon Lake.

Our volunteers share their time in many ways and may include reading to the patient, taking a walk, playing cards, watching TV, chatting or some other low-key activity the patient feels up to doing. Sometimes just sitting with them so they know they aren't alone is enough.

You will also be provided ongoing one-on-one staff support throughout your service with us and will be invited to voluntary education opportunities and appreciation events.

If you have any questions, or need further information, please contact Nikki Gerber, Volunteer Recruiting Specialist/Administrative Assistant, at (248) 260-8257 or nicole.gerber@corsocare.com.
