    Patient Support Volunteer

    Become a Patient Support Volunteer with Apreva Hospice

    Bring Comfort, Connection, and Joy to Those Who Need It Most

    Do you enjoy heartfelt conversations, playing games, or sharing stories over music or a good book? Apreva Hospice is seeking compassionate Patient Support Volunteers to offer companionship and social engagement to our patients during their end-of-life journey.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Provide conversational companionship to patients who may feel isolated or alone
    • Engage in simple, joyful activities such as:
      • Playing board games or cards
      • Listening to or sharing music
      • Reading books, poetry, or magazines aloud
    • Offer a comforting, consistent presence through regular visits

    No Experience? No Problem.

    We welcome volunteers from all walks of life. No prior experience is required — just a compassionate heart and a willingness to be present. All necessary training will be provided.

    Who We’re Looking For:

    • Friendly, empathetic individuals who enjoy spending time with others
    • Good listeners and natural conversationalists
    • Reliable and respectful of hospice boundaries and confidentiality
    • Open to learning and completing our hospice volunteer training

    Why It Matters:

    For hospice patients, companionship can be just as important as clinical care. Your time and presence can reduce feelings of loneliness, lift spirits, and bring moments of peace and connection.
