Description
There are Two Types of Volunteers Needed
- Companion Volunteers: Also known as Patient Care Volunteers, Companion Volunteers are part of a patient’s care team. They provide direct and indirect patient care. Examples of direct patient care volunteer opportunities include reading to the patient, assisting with a hobby, listening, running errands, providing caregiver relief, or grocery shopping. Indirect patient care opportunities include planting flowers, mowing a yard for a patient who is unable to continue doing so, and helping with other needs of our patients and families. We also have virtual volunteer opportunities.
- Administrative Volunteers: Administrative Volunteers do not work directly with patients and families. Examples of organizational volunteer opportunities include work in Hospice of Florida’s office to support our care team or help patients and families through indirect support, such as assisting with Hospice of Florida’s Palliative Pathways program, creating special memories for holidays, patient birthdays and anniversaries, planting flowers or mowing a yard for a patient that is unable to continue doing so, and helping with other needs of our patients and families.
