    Description

    Friendly Patient Care Volunteer (Driver's License Required)

    🌟 Join the Heart of Healing Care Hospice! Become an In-Home Patient Volunteer! 🌟

    Are you someone who loves connecting with others, sharing and listening to stories, and bringing sunshine into someone’s day? Healing Care Hospice is looking for In-Home Patient Volunteers, and we’d love to have you as part of our team!

    As an In-Home Patient Volunteer, you’ll visit our patients in their homes to provide a comforting presence. Whether you’re offering emotional support, sharing a laugh, or simply keeping someone company, you’ll make a meaningful difference with every visit.

    No experience? No problem! We welcome all volunteers who are genuinely interested in making a difference in someone's day.

    ✨ What you might do as a volunteer:

    • Chat, laugh, or simply sit with a patient.
    • Read aloud, play games, color together, or help write letters.
    • Listen to music—or even play an instrument if you know how!
    • Share your own creative talents.

    📍 Where you will serve:

    Please note that Healing Care Hospice is not a facility. Our patients reside all over LA County. They may live in their own homes, a Board & Care, an Assisted Living facility, or a Skilled Nursing facility. We will do our best to match you with a patient close to you. You will be responsible for your own transportation to the patient's home (proof of a driver's license and car insurance is required).

    ⏱️ Your commitment:

    • At least 4 hours a month for 6 months—with flexible scheduling to fit your life.
    • If you can give more time, your impact will be even greater!

    Your presence can bring immense comfort to our patients and their families. Come share your heart, your hobbies, and your gifts. đź’›
