Companion Volunteer ( Cullman Metro)

Aveanna Hospice, formerly Comfort Care Hospice, is seeking volunteers to be companion volunteers to our patients. You must be 18 and pass a background check.

The companion volunteer works directly with patients and families by being there to comfort, care, and listen. During visits, volunteers do activities with the patient such as reading the newspaper or books, taking walks, listening to music, sharing stories, helping make phone calls, writing letters to loved ones, or providing friendship by just being present. Volunteers may also offer support or respite to the caregiver or help around the home, like preparing meals or running errands.
