    Companion Volunteers for hospice patients living in a Memory Care Facility

    Volunteers needed to spend time with patients living in memory care facilities. The goal of a volunteer is to provide companionship and socialization to patients while giving the caregivers the comfort of knowing that someone is spending time with their loved one when they can't. A volunteer visit may consist of listening, talking, reading, playing an instrument, watching tv, playing games, coloring, puzzles, singing, looking at books, fidget blankets, sitting outside, or simply sitting with the patient.
