    Description

    Amedisys Hospice volunteers offer valuable support to patients and families facing

    terminal illnesses. Volunteers do not require any medical background and do not engage in

    medical or personal hygiene tasks.

    Our volunteers provide support in various ways. Whatever your passion or interest, there is a

    meaningful role for you as a volunteer with Compassionate Care Hospice. Our volunteers create

    their own schedule and typically commit 1-4 hours a week.

    We are currently looking for volunteers to:

    • Offer companionship visits
    • Provide respite for caregivers
    • Make weekly tuck-in calls
    • Veteran/active-duty military visits to veteran patients
    • Provide office support
    • Make handicraft items for patients
    • Assist with light household duties
    • Light yardwork
    • Sing or play an instrument
    • Send birthday cards

    Professional Volunteers:

    • Massage therapy
    • Music therapy
    • Pet therapy
    • Art therapy
    • Notary
    • Reiki
    • Hairdresser/barber

    We provide comprehensive training to ensure you feel confident and at ease when volunteering

    with our hospice patients.
