Military Veteran volunteers needed for hospice patients

Flexible Schedule | Springfield, IL 62704

Kindred hospice is seeking Military Veteran volunteers to provide companionship and socialization to Veteran patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families in your community. Kindred Hospice is part of the We Honor Veterans program. This pioneering program focuses on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment. By recognizing the unique needs of America's veterans and their families, our staff and our Veteran Volunteers learn how to accompany and guide veteran patients through their life stories toward a more peaceful ending. There are many roles a Veteran Volunteer can take. Veteran volunteers may make visits to Veteran patients in which you provide companionship and socialization through activities, providing a caring presence, reminiscing or completing a life review. Alternately, a Volunteer may attend and help with Veteran Pinning Ceremonies or assist with special projects that benefit the Veteran Community. We try to find a volunteer role for a Veteran that is as close to home as possible. Being a Kindred Hospice volunteer means being part of an interdisciplinary team that focuses on the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their families. Kindred Hospice offers an extensive orientation and ongoing support for all of our volunteers. We ask that Volunteers applying for this position: -Be an honorable or general discharge from any branch of the United States Service -Be willing to volunteer for 2-8 hours per month for a full year -Be willing to get a background check which includes fingerprinting, a drug test, and a health screen and TB test.

hospice companionship volunteers needed

Flexible Schedule | Springfield, IL 62704

Kindred Hospice is seeking volunteers to provide companionship and support to patients with life-limiting illness and their families in your community. Patient Visit Volunteers provide conversation, leisure activities or a quiet, caring presence. You may also use your education and area of expertise to aide our patients and program. Assignments can include techniques such as recording oral histories, storytelling and scrapbooking. Tell us how you would like to share your skills, talents and ideas. Patient Visit Volunteers may also provide the opportunity for respite to caregivers when a patient resides at home, allowing a caregiver to take time away to care for him/herself, heating up (but not preparing) a meal, or just being present for the caregiver's peace of mind. Volunteers with Kindred Hospice are an important part of a larger team who recognize that psychological, spiritual, and social services, as well as medical/clinical care, can contribute to an improved life quality for patients in the last stages of life. We offer extensive orientation and ongoing volunteer support. Kindred Hospice serves patients and their families in a wide range of communities, and will likely offer volunteer opportunities and training close to your home. We ask our volunteers to make a year long commitment, and to be willing to volunteer for 2-8 hours per month with a very flexible schedule. No hospice or volunteer experience is necessary - just a kind heart and a willingness to provide compassionate care to those we serve. All volunteer positions require a Physical and two step TB test, a fingerprinting background check, and a drug screen - paid for by Kindred. If this sounds like a good fit for you, we look forward to welcoming you to the Kindred Hospice team!
