A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

Are you searching for a way to fulfil your New Year's resolution to be a better human being? This posting is for you! Heartland Hospice is looking for individuals who want to make the world a better place. And the thing is, it may be a lot easier to make that change than you think!

Our volunteers can change the lives of individuals by merely visiting with residents in nursing homes who maybe don't get many visitors on a normal basis. Come in and talk to, play cards with, or even watch TV with a resident in a nursing home. Share your interests with a wide range of those in need.

You could help multiple people feel hope and joy in their day-to-day life simply by being in the moment with them and giving them the gift of your time.

Hours are flexible, and determined by the volunteer's availability. If you have the ability to serve even 1 hour a week, that can change somebody else's outlook on life, not to mention the positive effect it will have on you as well.

This is your chance to reach out to a communtiy that is desperate for someone to see them. Act now and reach out to our volunteer coordinator today.

Mission Statement

To provide exceptional care with empathy for our patient and their families so they may live with comfort, dignity and respect.

Description

Heartland Hospice volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a hospice volunteer, you become a valuable part of our care team and play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those in our care. There are so many ways to help; everything from spending time with a patient, running an errand, or doing light housekeeping to even providing invaluable administrative support. Contact us today and our hospice volunteer coordinator will help you find the best way to help.

THE TASKS OF VOLUNTEERS MAY INCLUDE:

Helping with office support tasks at the agency
Running errands for patients and families
Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
Reading, or providing a comforting touch
Playing or singing soothing music to patients
Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans

* We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.
