Hospice Volunteer - In Person

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Cardinal Hospice Care

We have volunteer opportunities located all across the state of North Carolina! Come and be an essential part of the interdisciplinary team that offers comfort care to our hospice patients. All volunteers have the chance to assist with event, activity planning and administrative work when possible.

If you enjoy connecting with others, we have in-person opportunities where you can engage with patients, listen to their stories, and offer companionship. Options also include volunteering with our partnering nursing homes assisting with daily activities such as "Bingo, Arts & Crafts, birthday events and more".


If you’re looking to make a difference in someone’s life, share stories, interests, and show kindness, we would love for you to be part of our team. Come spend time with our patients and listen to their life stories, share interest and be a compassionate volunteer today!

All volunteers are required to pass a NC background check and complete our online training course. There are no other requirements for "virtual" volunteers. For in person volunteers, you must also have an up-to-date TB Skin test, or otherwise known as a PPD skin test. We offer these free of charge and have Medical/Religious exemptions.

All underage volunteers require parental or Guardian consent/ supervision. Must be 16 years or older.

About Cardinal Hospice Care

Mission Statement

Cardinal Hospice Care is committed to delivering a continuum of competent, dependable, compassionate, and valuable hospice services to eligible individuals in their home setting(private home or nursing facility).

Description

We are a provider of hospice services only. Our hospice program of care includes a Medical Director, Nurses, Home Health Aides, Medical Social Worker, Chaplains, Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapies, and Volunteers. Facilities are once again letting volunteers enter to make visits. Volunteers can also visits patients who reside in private homes as requested. Some patients have elected to continue receiving cheerful cards/notes, but for those who desire visits, the amount of time for a visit is up to you. We would appreciate a minimum of one hour a week - more is even better as we are required to match 5% of staff hours, but if you can only give 30 minutes, then that will suffice.
