Do you have a musical talent and the heart to make a difference in someone's day? We'd love to share your talent within our patient community!
Music has power to soothe, energize, bring back happy memories, and help us forget our troubles for a few moments. In this volunteer role, you would be playing music, primarily in care communities.
AdvisaCare Hospice cares for patients in different care settings in the East and West Valley. If you have a location preference, we can try to keep you focused within a certain area.
Many care communities have a piano, but some do not. You would need to bring your own hand held instrument or we have a small keyboard we can let you borrow too.
One of the great things about this volunteer opportunity is that it's flexible with YOUR schedule. You can set the day and time you volunteer as long as it matches the patient's schedule. We just ask that once you set your schedule that you try to keep it consistent week to week.
We are looking for a one hour weekly commitment, but if you have more time to give, that's great too!
We offer hospice training and support before introducing you to our patients and care communities.
What you will do:
Play music for our patient... and be a companion. What that generally looks like is playing music for the majority of the time, and interacting with your patient at times during your visit. (Good conversations starters would be about the type of music they like or songs they'd like to hear. You will be building friendships!)
