Save to Favorites

Description:
Amedisys Hospice is seeking compassionate, reliable volunteers to join our Tuck-In Call program. This remote opportunity offers a meaningful way to support hospice patients and their families by providing companionship and ensuring their comfort and readiness for the weekend.

As a Tuck-In Call Volunteer, you will make friendly, supportive phone calls to patients and/or their caregivers. These calls serve a dual purpose: offering much-needed social connection and verifying that families have the supplies, medications, and services they need before the weekend begins.

Responsibilities:

• Make approximately 12-15 phone calls each week to assigned patients or caregivers.

• Provide companionship and emotional support through friendly conversation.

• Ask a brief set of check-in questions to confirm that families have everything they need (e.g., medications, supplies, equipment).

• Document any concerns or needs and promptly relay them to the clinical team.

• Maintain confidentiality and professionalism at all times.

• Attend a one-time orientation and training session (virtual).

• Commit to consistent weekly participation, with flexible timing based on your schedule.

Qualifications:

• Kind, empathetic, and a good listener.

• Comfortable speaking on the phone with patients and families.

• Dependable and able to maintain a consistent volunteer schedule.

• Must be 18 years of age or older.

• Must reside in the U.S. and pass a background check.

• Hospice or healthcare experience is a plus but not required-training is provided.

Benefits:

• Make a meaningful difference in the lives of hospice patients and families.

• Gain valuable experience in healthcare, social work, or volunteer services.

• Enjoy the flexibility of volunteering remotely on your own schedule.

• Be part of a supportive and compassionate care team.
