    Description

    Seeking responsible volunteers, 18 or over for companionship and socialization with a patient in the Garland area. Required to make weekly visits, at least 1 hour per week. You must have valid Photo ID and have transportation. You might have a patient in a private home or facility. It is building that relationship with the patient (and family) and being a regular visitor to make that connection.

    You will have Orientation at home and in the field, there is a TB test required, drug screening as well as background check, at no cost to you. If this sounds like an adventure you might be interested in, please reach out to me via email and I will get in touch with you.

Again, all at no cost. Orientation is quick and it will cover a lot information, you will be able to go through it at your leisure, and if there are questions you can feel free to contact me after our interview.
