Do people love your dog, and does your dog love people? Would you love to have a way to spend more time with your dog, while bringing joy to others? You and your beloved pet may just be perfect candidates to visit seniors, who can no longer care for a pet themselves. Arbor Hospice is seeking people who are willing to take their own gentle and well-behaved dogs on visits to hospice patients throughout Washtenaw, Livingston, Jackson, Lenawee, and Western Wayne counties and surrounding areas. Pets must be a minimum of one year old to be considered, current on their veterinary shots, and must be "interviewed" by our staff, and do NOT have to be certified therapy dogs. Quality of care is one of the cornerstones of our mission - a mission that could not be accomplished without the many 'helping hands' AND 'helping paws' of our volunteers. Visits take place in patients' own homes, as well as nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, group homes, hospitals. Our hospice volunteers have shared that they find their work to be personally gratifying and meaningful, and we hope that you will share in this experience. Volunteers with availability during weekday mornings and afternoons are needed most, and we ask that our volunteers make at least a one year commitment to our organization. Volunteers will be provided with ongoing one-on-one staff support throughout their service with us, and will be invited to ongoing education opportunities, and appreciation events. Our volunteers must complete an online application, interview, background checks, an orientation class, fingerprinting, and annual TB testing, and provide annual updated veterinary records if volunteering with their own pets. Arbor Hospice requires that any person who has suffered a personal loss wait a period of 12 months prior to volunteering. Thank you for considering this enriching and unique volunteer opportunity.

Quality of care is one of the cornerstones of our mission - a mission that could not be accomplished without the many 'helping hands' of our volunteers. We are seeking volunteers throughout Lenawee county and the surrounding area, to visit hospice patients throughout the community. Visits take place in patients' own homes, as well as nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, group homes, hospitals. Volunteers are asked to provide companionship to our patients, which can include reading to them, looking through magazines or cookbooks, watching movies or sports, playing music, visiting with a pet, or simply chatting and holding a hand. Our volunteers do not provide any hands-on physical care to our patients. Our hospice volunteers have shared that they find their work to be personally gratifying and meaningful, and we hope that you will share in this experience. Volunteers with availability during weekday mornings and afternoons are needed most, and we ask that our volunteers make at least a one year commitment to our organization.

Quality of care is one of the cornerstones of our mission - a mission that could not be accomplished without the many 'helping hands' of our volunteers. We are seeking licensed cosmetologists and barbers who are interested in providing in-home haircuts to our patients. When facing the end of life, maintaining one's dignity and sense of being oneself are imperative. Providing a haircut to a patient who cannot leave his or her home is a treasured gift to both the patient and their family. Our patients reside in Washtenaw, Livingston, Western Wayne, and surrounding counties. Visits take place in patients' own homes, as well as nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, group homes, and hospitals. Our hospice volunteers have shared that they find their work to be personally gratifying and meaningful, and we hope that you will share in this experience. Volunteers will be provided with ongoing one-on-one staff support throughout their service with us, and will be invited to ongoing education opportunities, and appreciation events. Our volunteers must complete an online application, interview, background checks, an orientation class, fingerprinting, and annual TB testing, and provide a copy of current licensure. Arbor Hospice requires that any person who has suffered a personal loss wait a period of 12 months prior to volunteering. Thank you for considering this enriching and unique volunteer opportunity.

Are you an active retiree with some time to fill on a weekday morning or afternoon, once a week? If you are, then we have people who would love to spend that time with you. We serve hospice patients who don't have many visitors, who would be thrilled to see you for an hour or two each week, talking, being read to, playing cards, listening to music, watching game shows or sports, or just sharing stories. Right now we're short on volunteers who live in the Chelsea, Dexter, and Pinckney areas, and we would love to meet folks interested in visiting our seniors in those areas. Visits take place in patients' own homes, as well as nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, group homes, and hospitals. You will NOT be asked to provide any hands-on physical care to our patients, or to drive them anywhere. Seeing your smiling face is enough for them! We ask our volunteers to make a one-year commitment to volunteering with us, and in exchange are provided with thorough training, one-on-one staff support, ongoing training on special topics, appreciation events, and opportunities to socialize with other volunteers. You will be asked to complete an online application, interview, background checks, fingerprinting, and an annual TB (Tuberculosis) test. We will cover the cost of the background checks, fingerprinting and TB testing. We also throw in a lot of free food! Arbor Hospice requires that anyone who has suffered a personal loss wait a period of 12 months prior to volunteering. Thank you for considering this enriching and unique volunteer opportunity!
