    Description

    Compassionate Companion Volunteer

    Our hospice organization needs compassionate volunteers to provide friendly companionship visits to our patients. Being a hospice volunteer is simple, yet profoundly rewarding. There is no medical or personal care involved - just caring from your heart!

    Visits are based on your schedule.

    You will receive extensive support and training from our organization. YOU can make a difference by.........

    • Providing companionship (from simple conversations to exploring deep feelings)
    • Reading aloud or listening to music together
    • Looking at photos together and sharing memories (life review)
    • Journaling (helping the patient record their history)
    • Watching movies or playing games
    • Helping with children
    • Sharing a quiet moment
    • Simply being present

    Private Group Details:

    • Group Size Range: 1 - 50+
    • Event can be held at organization location(s)
    • No Donation

    Location
