    Description

    Housecall Providers volunteers visit patients who are homebound, disabled or living with advanced illness in the Portland Metro area, providing them with meaningful companionship and much-needed respite for their caregivers. You may read a favorite book, run small errands, walk the dog, or help tidy up their home. Perhaps you will simply offer quiet comfort by sitting with them or holding a hand. No matter what, your presence offers reassurance that they are not alone.

    Are you interested in becoming a Housecall Providers Volunteer?

    The process is simple! Just contact Volunteer Coordinator Todd Lawrence for more information in ANY of the following ways:

    • Email at tlawrence@housecallproviders.org
    • Call 971-202-5515
    • Volunteer orientations are scheduled one-on-one as needed, and patient care volunteer trainings are scheduled every 10 to 12 weeks. Veterans are particularly encouraged to apply.

    Individuals are encouraged to wait a year after the loss of a significant person before serving as a hospice volunteer working with patients, families or caregivers.
