Direct Care Volunteer

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Gentiva Hospice

The Direct Care Volunteer serves as an additional support to patients and families dealing with a terminal illness and end-of-life issues. Support is provided in a variety of ways, including the provision of companionship and socialization to patients, or offering respite to stressed caregivers in their own homes, care facilities or assisted living.

Gentiva Hospice is committed to clinical excellence in hospice care. We see each individual as more than a patient. Our skilled professionals and volunteers design an all-encompassing program, customized to each patient that addresses not only the physical needs but also the emotions and spiritual needs of the patient and family. Our hospice teams provide compassionate care for individuals and their families when life matters most.
