    Description

    💙 Volunteer Opportunity: Be a Friend to a Hospice Patient Sometimes the greatest gift you can give is simply your presence. Providence Home Health & Hospice is looking for compassionate volunteers to visit hospice patients living in local nursing homes

    No medical care is required. Just spend time with someone who could use a friendly face.

    As a hospice companion volunteer, you might:

    • Visit and chat with a patient
    • Listen to their stories
    • Read aloud from a book or magazine
    • Play cards or a simple game
    • Look through family photos
    • Sit quietly and provide comforting companionship

    Even one hour a week can brighten someone's day and remind them they are not alone.

    We provide:

    • Free training
    • Flexible scheduling
    • Ongoing support
    • A meaningful opportunity to make a difference

    If you have a caring heart and enjoy spending time with others, we'd love to have you join our volunteer team.
