ORGANIZATION: Compassionate Care Hospice (Amedisys) Bloomfield NJ

  • 3 people are interested

We have many patients from many different cultures and countries who would love speak with similar backgrounds. Just think how comforting it would be to hear or read your native language that you may have not heard in a while. During a scary time the familiar sounds or letters can change your world. Just think how comforting that would be for the patients and their families.

Sharing your valuable free time with Compassionate Care Hospice is flexible and fits on your schedule. It can be remote or in person. It can be just an hour or two a week, more if you like. We train you in everything you need to know so you feel comfortable. There is an onboarding process that has an application and paperwork. There is a background check through your drivers license or passport. In person has a few more health requirements. We can have you volunteering in 2 weeks if you get all the paperwork in quickly.

Just reply to this ad to get started. We would love to hear from you. My name is Kris and I am the regional volunteer coordinator, happy to answer any questions!
