    Description

    Hospice Volunteer Opportunity – Companionship Visits

    Some of the most important moments in hospice care are the quiet visits from a volunteer.

    Hospice volunteers provide simple companionship to patients who may be feeling lonely or isolated. These visits often include:

    Talking and sharing stories

    Looking through photo albums

    Listening to music

    Playing cards or simple games

    Sitting quietly and keeping someone company

    There is no medical care involved. Your role is simply to offer kindness, conversation, and presence.

    Volunteers choose their schedule and patient assignments. Most volunteers give about 10 hours per month.

    Training and support are provided.
