Companionship Volunteer – Hospice Care

Compassus hospice companionship volunteers are an essential part of our care team, offering comfort, companionship, and support to patients and families facing life-limiting illnesses. Your presence can bring moments of peace, dignity, and connection during an important chapter of someone’s life.

Whether you enjoy sharing conversation, offering a listening ear, or bringing joy through pet, music, or art therapy—your time and talents truly matter. Many of our volunteers say they receive just as much as they give.

What You’ll Do as a Patient Support Volunteer:

• Provide companionship through friendly visits
• Offer caregiver relief so loved ones can rest or recharge
• Sit vigil with patients who may otherwise be alone
• Provide emotional, spiritual, or cultural support
• Assist with small errands or simple acts of kindness

Every volunteer role is tailored to your comfort level and strengths.

Training & Requirements:

• All volunteers receive thorough training before working with patients
• Background check and tuberculosis (TB) test (provided at no cost)
• Ongoing support and guidance from our volunteer coordinator and care team

Time Commitment:

Flexible to your schedule—volunteer anywhere from 2 hours a month to 6 hours a week.

Every effort is appreciated, valued, and truly needed. :-)
