Gentiva Hospice North Aiken

Our Mission: The mission of Gentiva Health Services is to honor life and offer compassion to individuals and their families when facing a life-limiting illness.

The services you will give as a Hospice volunteer will profoundly improve the quality of our patient's lives. Friendly visits enable families to keep their loved ones at home, around the people they love, and the things they love. Simply holding a patient's hand can ease their mind and comfort their spirit.

Volunteering takes no advanced medical training or great commitment. It can be as simple as reading to, or spending time with a patient a few hours a week. It is small deeds of kindness that so profoundly enhance the lives of our patients and those who love them.

There are many kinds of Hospice volunteers. Our volunteers include individuals, families, businesses, youth and school groups, civic organizations and churches. All hospice volunteers are given assignments that best suit their time, skills and interests.

Volunteers can help in many ways:

• Patient Comfort and Companionship
• Unconditional Love, Smiles and Laughter
• Listening, Reading, Music, and Playing Board Games
• Arts and Crafts
• Special Projects
• Bereavement Support
• Clerical/Administrative Support
