    Friendly In-Person Patient Care Volunteers

    🌟 Join the Heart of Healing Care Hospice! Become a Direct Patient Volunteer! 🌟

    Are you someone who loves connecting with others, sharing stories, or bringing a little sunshine into someone’s day? Healing Care Hospice is looking for Direct Patient Volunteers, and we’d love to have YOU be part of our team!

    As a Direct Patient Volunteer, you’ll be a friendly face and a comforting presence for our patients and their families. Whether you’re offering emotional support, sharing a laugh, or simply keeping someone company, you’ll be making a meaningful difference every visit.

    ✨ What you might do as a volunteer:

    • Chat, laugh, or simply sit with a patient
    • Read aloud, color together, write down their story
    • Listen to music—or even play it if that’s your jam!
    • Share your own creative talents
    • Provide short-term relief for caretakers
    • And most importantly… help brighten someone’s day

    No experience? No problem! We provide full training, and we welcome volunteers with all kinds of talents, interests, and backgrounds.

    📍 Where you can serve:

    Homes, Assisted Living, Board and Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities

    Los Angeles • Orange County • Simi Valley

    ⏱️ Your commitment:

    At least 2 hours a month for 6 months—with flexible scheduling to fit your life. If you can do more, the impact is greater!

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