We are looking for volunteers that would be willing to visit patients in the San Antonio Area who can provide an hour or two of caregiver relief during the daytime once a week/ or other every week to families who would greatly appreciate your support.
Volunteer relief duties - May consist of lending a hand to the family to go run an errand/ giving the family time to unwind for a couple hours for whatever reason it may be, shopping, Dr. Appt, self- care...
For anyone who has experienced being with a loved one at the end of life's journey, they know that hospice patients and their families are in need of great support during some of their most important times of their lives.
Quite often the caregiver of the patient is overcome with emotional stress or burnout due to their families' circumstances such as feeling overwhelmed or tired and the constant worry of their family member during their end-of-life stage. Situation like such is inevitable but we can make the process easier. All we need is you to make a difference. Join our Hospice volunteer program.
If you have any questions regarding opportunity, please reach out to Patricia Gonzalez at 210.733.1212 or email- patricia.gonzalez@gentivahs.com
Training is provided. Background/drug test required. 18 years of age & must have valid DL/ car insurance to drive to facility.
