Veteran Volunteer - Hospice Care - Central Indiana, Lafayette, South Bend

Luminary Hospice of Indiana, LLC is looking to expand its Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program. A proud We Honor Veterans program member, Luminary acknowledges the sacrifice, courage, and needed connection of vet-to-vet services within the hospice care community. Veterans receiving end-of-life care are needing Veterans - like you - for connection, companionship, and care in a way that helps bring comfort in their final days. Don't know where to start? We offer comprehensive and compassionate training in a holistic-approach to learning how to work with Veteran hospice patients.

Our volunteers are specially trained but do not provide direct patient care, give medications, or make medical decisions. As an invaluable resource to patients and families, you will bring a friendly smile, warm conversation, a hand to hold or offer a welcome respite for a family member. A volunteer coordinator takes time to get to know about you and your life passions to ensure the best match to maximize the reward for both you, the volunteer, and the patient. Some volunteers choose direct patient support while others work behind the scenes at the office or with the hospice team.

What we need from you:

• An application directly on our website;
• Free, Luminary-provided background test, Tuberculosis test, and submission to a drug test;
• a copy of your Driver's License;
• Active Auto Insurance.
