    Description

    Respite volunteers needed

    Sometimes, a caregiver just needs a moment to breathe.

    We are looking for compassionate hospice volunteers to provide respite visits for patients once a week for a few hours at a time. During these visits, volunteers stay with the patient so their caregiver can run errands, take a shower, rest, or simply have a short break knowing their loved one is safe and not alone.

    Volunteers provide companionship, conversation, comfort, and a caring presence. This is a non-medical role. Volunteers do not provide hands-on care such as feeding, lifting, toileting, or bathroom assistance.

    Our volunteers are fully trained and supported every step of the way.

    A few hours of your time can make an incredible difference for both a patient and an exhausted caregiver. đź’ś

    Flexible scheduling available.

    If you have a compassionate heart and want to serve your community in a meaningful way, we would love to talk with you. Please contact Corrina at ccasson@faithofaz.com
