VITAS is looking for volunteers in Collier County who would like to share their music or art talents with our patients. Volunteers visit patients in the patient's home or care community where they reside. If you enjoy playing music, singing or have artistic talents such as drawing, painting, or coloring, that can provide calm and comfort to those terminally ill, please reach out to us! You will receive training in hospice philosophy, supporting people at end of life, and understanding the challenges of dementia and Alzheimer's. Visits provide socialization, comfort, joy, and compassionate support. Assignments are made according to the volunteer's time availability and location. Great opportunity for retired individuals and teachers, college students studying music, art, music therapy, and art therapy. If you love music and art, share that love with our patients! It will mean the world to them.....and to YOU!

VITAS Innovative Hospice Care 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. Respite 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. We are especially looking for volunteers who would be available during daytime, weekday hours but weekends or evenings are also helpful. Opportunities are flexible.
