Be Someone’s Lifeline: Companion Volunteer
Details
Description
One Hour, One Visit, One Heart. Nearly half of the 1.5 million people living in long-term care communities never receive a single visitor. As a Companion Volunteer, you’ll help change that by building an authentic, one-on-one relationship with someone who longs for connection.
Note: While this posting shows Philadelphia, Companion Volunteer opportunities are available nationwide. After training, NALTCV will help connect you with a long-term care community close to where you live.
How it Works:
- Training First – Complete NALTCV’s Volunteering in Long-Term Care course (online, self-paced, about 3–4 hours).
- In-Person Visits – Once training is complete, NALTCV will help place you at a long-term care community near where you live.
- Commitment – Plan for about 1 hour per week for at least 6 months. Consistency is what makes the relationships meaningful.
Your Impact:
- Offer comfort, friendship, and joy to someone who may otherwise feel isolated.
- Strengthen your own sense of purpose through meaningful connection.
- Join a growing movement bringing authentic relationships back to long-term care.
