    Description

    Multiple Volunteer Opportunities

    Volunteering at Gentiva Hospice comes in a variety of forms. If you are comfortable with face-to-face contact with the patients and their caregivers, you may choose to visit their homes or care facilities to offer companionship and socialization. You may even play games, read, or play music. In doing so, you bring comfort to the patients and respite to their caregivers.

    If, on the other hand, you do not feel comfortable in the home/facility setting, there are plenty of other ways you can help. Administrative support - including scanning documents, packing care baskets, and sorting reports - is always welcome. In addition, you may enjoy making calls to patients/caregivers to check in with them and remind them that we care and want to make things as easy for them as possible.

    We serve Lee, Monroe, Chickasaw, and Calhoun Counties.
