Give Caregivers a Break – On-Call Volunteers Needed!

Caregivers provide essential support to patients, but they also need breaks. As a Caregiver Respite Volunteer with CorsoCare, you’ll provide short-term support for families, giving caregivers time to rest, run errands, or take care of personal needs while ensuring patients remain safe and comfortable.

What You’ll Do

• Sit with patients in the home or care setting while caregivers take a needed break.
• Provide companionship, emotional support, and safety for patients.
• Engage patients in light activities such as conversation, reading, or quiet reflection.
• Offer peace of mind to families knowing their loved one is in capable, caring hands.

How On-Call Volunteering Works

• Volunteers are placed on an on-call schedule for their local area (within about 1 hour of their home base) based on their availability.
• Volunteers are required to provide support on a recurring basis for their scheduled on-call shifts. For example, if you are scheduled for Wednesdays, you may be called to provide respite on any Wednesday when a caregiver request occurs.
• While unforeseen circumstances may occasionally prevent participation, regular commitment to your scheduled shifts is expected.

Why Volunteer

• Make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families.
• Flexible, on-call schedule tailored to your personal availability.
• Gain experience in healthcare, social work, or volunteer support programs.
