    Description

    Atlanta Proper and surrounding areas WE ARE LOOKING FOR HOSPICE VOLUNTEERS

    Thank you so much for your interest in joining our hospice volunteer team!

    Let me share a little bit about who we are and how we work. We are an in-home hospice care company, which means we visit patients wherever they call home—whether that’s a private residence, memory care facility, nursing home, or assisted living center. Please note that there is some travel involved.

    We ask that you consider this volunteer opportunity thoughtfully before committing. Ideally, we ask volunteers to visit their assigned patient once per week for about an hour, though we can be flexible. The minimum commitment is twice per month.

    To be considered as a volunteer, the following steps must be completed:

    1. Fill out a volunteer application.
    2. Sign a consent form for a background check (we cover the cost).
    3. Complete a TB test (two-step process): You’ll need to return for a follow-up to have your TB spot read. We offer this for free at our office.
    4. Complete 9 online training modules.
    5. Attend an in-person orientation.

    Once all steps are completed, we’ll match you with a patient.

    Please note: volunteers do not provide any hands-on medical care. Our role is to offer companionship and emotional support. You may assist with light household tasks, read with patients, watch TV together, play games, go for walks, color, or simply be present while a caregiver runs errands.

    If this opportunity speaks to your heart, let’s set up a short interview to get to know each other better. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

    Directions

    Agape Hospice Care is currently seeking compassionate volunteers in Marietta, Smyrna, and West Georgia, Atlanta proper, to provide companionship and “friendly visits” to our terminally ill hospice patients.

    You do not need medical experience — just a caring heart and a willingness to spend time with someone who needs it. Our volunteers offer conversation, encouragement, and presence during a very meaningful season of life.

    If this sounds like something you’d like to learn more about, please drop your email below or send me a private message. I would love to connect with you and share more details. Alesa.Smith@agapehc.net

    Help us bring comfort, one visit at a time. 💙

    How to Volunteer for This Opportunity

    We are an in-home hospice, so we don't work out of a building; we go where our patients live. Memory care, Assisted living, Nursing homes, private residents. There is travel involved.
