Volunteers are not paid employees and do not receive compensation for their time.

Patient Care Volunteers visit patients at their home on a weekly basis, or as needed. These visits are solely for companionship and socialization. Some examples of duties would include, but are not limited to, listening to music, conversing, assisting with a hobby, etc. Patient Care Volunteers also provide a positive, supportive, and respectful environment for the patient, family, and staff members.
