HOSPICE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? Traditional Hospice is extending an invitation to compassionate individuals to join our team as Hospice Volunteers.
As a Hospice Volunteer you will:
- Provide companionship and emotional support to patients in their final stages of life.
- Offer comfort to families and caregivers during difficult times.
- Assist with non-medical tasks to improve the quality of life for patients.
Why Volunteer With Us?:
- Make a lasting impact in the lives of those in need.
- Gain valuable experience in hospice care.
- Receive comprehensive training and support from our dedicated team.
- No experience is necessary - just a friendly smile, a listening ear, and a willingness to help!
- The schedule is flexible and can be made to meet your specific scheduling needs.
A volunteer visit looks like a conversation over a cup of coffee, holding a patient's hand to provide comfort, listening to a patient's life experiences, reading to or playing music for a patient, watching a movie together or playing cards/games with a patient.
Volunteers do not perform any hands-on care but provide our hospice patients with increased socialization/companionship. Volunteers can also provide respite for family members to attend to important needs such as going to their own medical appointments, grocery shopping, or simply to have a much needed break.
Driving to and from the patient's residence is necessary for this volunteer opportunity, and mileage reimbursement is available.
If you would rather assist in our office in Dunmore, we are always in need of Office Volunteers.
The impact of a caring person is immeasurable. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. We are here to support you throughout your volunteer experience!
