    Description

    Hospice Volunteers Needed in Worcester MA & Surrounding Area

    Hospice Volunteers make a difference!

    Overlook Hospice is looking for kind, compassionate individuals to share their time with hospice patients. The requirements are few but vitally important. An open heart and a bit of time is all that is needed. Sounds simple but it is exactly what is needed for you to make a profound difference in a patient(s) life.

    Hospice Volunteers provide companionship and support to our hospice patients and their families. Companionship is provided by sitting with the patient and talking about life reviews, playing music for them, sitting outside with them on nice days, reading to them or just being a presence with them. As simple as that!

    Currently we are looking for volunteers to visit patients in their own home and long-term facilities located in the Worcester MA and surrounding areas.

    • Companionship volunteers do not perform any clinical activites with a patient such as feeding, toileting, bathing or transferring.
    • Volunteers schedule their own visits - day/time that works with the patient(s) schedule.
    • Full training and ongoing support is provided.

    If you would like more information, please contact Debbie Towne at 508-434-2324 or email at dtowne@overlook-mass.org

    Please include your phone number in all responses.
