    Description

    Compassionate Companion Volunteers Needed!

    Our hospice organization needs compassionate volunteers to provide friendly visits to our patients in southern Delaware. Being a hospice volunteer is simple, yet profoundly rewarding. There is no medical or personal care involved - just caring from the heart! Visits are based on your schedule and are always close to your home. You 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)
    • Sitting with a patient so caregivers have free time (care giver relief)
    • Journaling (helping the patient record their history)
    • Watching movies or playing games
    • Helping with children
    • Sharing a quiet moment
    • Simply being present

    Contact Rebekah Welch, Volunteer Coordinator, at 302-533-3800 or rwelch@seasons.org. These Companion Volunteer opportunities are located in southern Kent County and Sussex County.
