Recruiting Organization: Preferred Hospice

As a hospice volunteer, you play a vital role in offering emotional and practical support to patients and their families during a challenging time. When you visit patients, your primary focus is to provide comfort, companionship, and a sense of calm. You might engage in activities like reading to patients, holding their hand, offering a listening ear, or simply sitting quietly with them to offer presence. Volunteers also assist with light household tasks, run errands, or provide respite for family caregivers, giving them a break from their caregiving responsibilities.

While you won't provide medical care, your role is incredibly important in improving the quality of life for the patient. Volunteers often create a safe, peaceful environment, where patients feel valued, respected, and heard. You may also offer emotional support to family members who are navigating this journey with their loved one, helping them feel less alone in the process.

Every interaction as a hospice volunteer is guided by compassion, empathy, and the desire to help others live with dignity and peace during the end-of-life experience
