Assist a Hospice Caregiver with a Needed Break

Save to Favorites

VITAS Healthcare(r)
is looking for kind and caring people to help terminally ill patients and their families -
just by being there. Many of our patients live at home with family members or friends who rarely get the
opportunity to leave the house because they are devoted to caring for their ill loved ones. Relief care
(sitting with a patient while the caregiver takes a break) is one of our biggest volunteer needs. For
caregivers to have the opportunity to run an errand, go see a movie, go to a doctor’s appointment or go
on an outing can work wonders to renew their energy and better equip them for the responsibilities of
care-giving.
VITAS Volunteer orientation is provided free of charge to help you learn the skills required to be an
outstanding hospice volunteer. Time and dates are ongoing and flexible. We are especially looking for
volunteers who would be available during daytime, weekday hours but weekends or evenings are also
helpful.
