    Description

    A Hospice Volunteer Visit to Offer Companionship and Pampering to Facility Patients- VITAS Healthcare-Bridgeton, MO 63044

    Volunteers are critically important for visiting patients at the end of life that do not have family or friends that regularly visit. VITAS Healthcare is looking for Patient Care Volunteers to visit patients residing in nursing home facilities to increase socialization, provide pampering and comfort. Volunteers offer companionship, play music and games, read to patients, share hobbies and help in other meaningful ways. They provide specific, non-medical care through friendly visits.

    VITAS Healthcare provides comprehensive training and orientation for hospice volunteering that focuses on communication skills and how to make a positive difference for patients and caregivers. The days and times for volunteering are flexible according to your availability. Any time you can contribute is greatly appreciated. For more information on volunteering at VITAS, please visit https://vitas.com/volunteer or call (314)682-3400.
