    Description

    Are you Spiritual...Make a difference in the life of a hospice patient.

    Find a purpose, develop new skills, share your time... You can make a difference!

    accentCare Hospice is looking for Volunteers to visit patients throughout Middle TN in Davidson, Williamson, Cheatham, Dickson, and Hickman Counties. We place you with a patient in your county.

    As a Hospice Spiritual Companionship Volunteer, you will collaborate with our full-service medical and psycho-social care team to help patients and their family members. You will have the opportunity to offer companionship to patients in their home, assisted living, or skilled nursing facility while adhering to current health and safety guidelines. Volunteer time is flexible to work with your schedule.

    Volunteer activities with patients include: Listening to a patient's stories, reading aloud to them from the spiritual text of their choice, listening to spiritual music, prayer, supporting a patient in their faith practices.

    Volunteers are assigned to a patient with a similar faith/spiritual background to visit.

    Volunteers DO NOT provide any hands-on care such as changing a patient, feeding a patient, bathing, giving medications, etc.

    No previous hospice experience is needed, accentCare Hospice will provide training and support throughout your time as a volunteer. Our volunteers are part of our team that provides excellent care to those at the end of life. Your gift of compassionate presence is valued!

    If you are looking for a deeply rewarding volunteer opportunity, then this is for you!
