    Description

    Hospice Patient Visitor

    Do you love to brighten someone's day--and have them brighten yours?! Join Affinity's dynamic hospice team as a volunteer supporting folks with life-limiting illness. You might chat with someone, hold a hand, or take them outside for some sun and fresh air. Perhaps you'll play their favorite music or use virtual reality to take them fishing! Do you like to walk the dog or give respite at home so that a caregiver can take a break? Are you drawn to sitting quietly with intention at the bedside of someone who has no family? There are so many ways that you can make a life-changing difference! You have so much to offer and you will receive so much more. Come and see!!

    Affinity Care of Maine will be training a new group of compassionate people to provide companionship and socialization to patients and families. A free 21-hour training program will be offered in the South Portland office at a time that is mutually convenient. Background checks, interviews, annual TB tests and proof of vaccinations are required.

    For more information, please contact Donna Teague, Volunteer Coordinator, at 207-870-7779 or dteague@affinitymaine.com.
