Non-Medical Volunteers for Hospice Patients

We are seeking volunteers that would be able to visit our patients in Danbury and the surrounding areas. Compassus volunteers make a positive difference in the lives of our patients, patient's families, and Compassus team members.

As we serve a vast area of Connecticut, we match volunteers with patients close to their home. Many of our patients live in skilled nursing facilities, but we also serve those being cared for in their private homes.

Volunteers help our patients by providing them support through simple companionship, reading to them, playing music, watching TV, and most importantly listening to their life story.

We ask that our volunteers commit to working at least two hours a month. Volunteers may make their visits flexible to fit their schedule Monday-Sunday during the hours of 8:00am-8:00pm. The length of visit times will vary depending on the needs of the patients.

WE ARE IN SPECIAL NEED OF PET THERAPISTS, MUSIC THERAPIST, MUSICIANS, LICENSED HAIRSTYLIST/BARBER, AND LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPISTS WHO CAN SHARE THEIR TALENTS WITH OUR PATIENTS.

WE ARE ALSO IN NEED OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD KNIT/CROCHET PRAYER SHAWLS AND/OR BLANKETS FOR OUR PATIENTS.

Please give our Volunteer Coordinator a call at (203) 906-0261 or send an email to ariana.williams@compassus.com for further information.

Thank you!
