Friendly Faces for Care and Companionship with Hospice

Volunteering is what you make of it! At Gentiva we offer opportunities for volunteers that are flexible with their schedule and suit their interests and comfort level. Do you like reading? Do you crochet or knit? Do you fish? Do you like playing games? Maybe our patients do too! Families often ask volunteers to sit and read with their loved ones, listen to music, play games, or just sit and chat. Are you a veteran? Gentiva strives to connect those who have served with volunteers who are also veterans, which can provide a deeper connection and support. Providing care and companionship comes with kindness and an interest in connecting with people in our communities. It also comes with an understanding that families in our hospice care are going through a very challenging time, and a friendly face can make all the difference. Gentiva also has opportunities for individuals who do not want to work with patients directly but provide support to the office. This can include mailing, filing, making copies, phone calls, etc. in our office. It might also include creative tasks such as mailing birthday or holiday cards or assisting with preparing for upcoming fairs or events. You are here because you want to give back and make an impact, and we are here to provide an opportunity to make that happen.
