Recruiting Organization: Gentiva Hospice - Oak Brook, IL

Do you have a warm heart and a little time to spare? Join Gentiva Hospice as a Patient Visiting Friend and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

We're looking for fun, compassionate, and reliable adults who can visit with hospice patients in your local community. These visits provide much-needed companionship and comfort -- whether you're sharing stories, reading aloud, listening to music, or simply being present.

  • No medical experience needed
  • Full training and ongoing support provided
  • Must be 18+ and able to drive (valid license and auto insurance)
  • veterans welcome (and often paired with veteran patients)
  • start with one patient taking on additional patients later, if desired
  • Visit three (3x) times per month staying 30 minutes minimum

Whether you’re looking to give back, gain experience, build a resume, or simply bring joy to someone’s day, you’ll be supported every step of the way by our caring hospice team and our Volunteer Coordinators.

Join us and help bring dignity, comfort, and connection to those in their final chapter of life. You’ll leave every visit feeling like you made a difference -- because you truly did. Apply today to become a Gentiva Hospice Volunteer!
