Musicians and Singers for Hospice Volunteer Program

Musicians and Singers for Hospice Volunteer Program

Luminary Hospice is seeking volunteers who sing or play an instrument to share their love of music with a hospice patient in the Mount Vernon area, as well as throughout Knox, Morrow and Licking Counties.

Many hospice patients have strong connections to music, whether it reminds them of a particular time in their life or simply brings them peace. Our patients are nearing the end of their lives and music can be a powerful means of connecting them to past memories or providing comfort.

What does a hospice volunteer musician do?

Volunteer musicians meet with patients in a facility or private home and sing, play their instrument or just play recorded music for a period of time. Volunteers are encouraged to interact with the patient, discuss music, or even play music from their phone. Visits are scheduled at times that are convenient for you.

What if I don’t have any experience?

Luminary Hospice provides exceptional training for its volunteers. Hospice volunteers receive the same orientation as paid staff in addition to their volunteer-specific training. Our training covers hospice history and basics, as well as special considerations surrounding grief, ethics, and bereavement. You only need to bring an open heart and a willingness to serve others, and we will train you.

Why volunteer with us?

Luminary is doing hospice differently. Our interdisciplinary team is comprised of professionals who are genuinely passionate about hospice care. We depend on our volunteers to complement the exceptional service that we offer our patients. Volunteers help us provide end of life care that far exceeds hospice standards and our patients’ and family’s expectations.

Musician volunteers provide their availability to the Luminary Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, schedule time(s) convenient for them, and spend as much time as they choose with a patient.
