Hospice Volunteer: Dementia Focused - Altoona

Lily Hospice actively cares for patients living with dementia. If you have skills and/or interest in working with this population, we would love to talk with you about joining our volunteer team. We provide full training and support.

At Lily Hospice, we care for our patients in the comfort of their home. For some, home might be a private residence, while others might reside in an assisted living or nursing home/health center. Visitors are needed throughout the area. We do take into account your location to assign visits that are within or near your own community.

The ideal candidate is compassionate and reliable. You will need to go through a background check, about four hours of online training, and another 2-3 hours of in-person training.

Our Commitment to You

• A flexible schedule at a location that is convenient for you;
• Consistent and accessible staff support from our hospice team;
• Training in working with people who are experiencing dementia;
• Ongoing guidance & education to ensure that you are comfortable in your role.

This volunteer opportunity is available through our Eau Claire office. Contact Laura, Volunteer Coordinator, at 715-492-2633 or lcunningham@lilyhealthcare.org for more information on volunteering with Lily Hospice.
