Hospice Compassionate Companions needed in Greendale & Greenfield area

Allay's Hospice Companions bring comfort to our patients and relief to their caregivers by offering a supportive presence, a listening ear and a helping hand.

When visiting, volunteers may offer to play music or a game, read to the patient, listen to his/her stories & memories, sit outside with a patient or take him/her for a walk, or may offer assistance with other non-medical tasks. There are also times when volunteers may simply sit quietly while holding one's hand, letting the patient know that he or she is not alone. It's just having that connection to another person, no matter how simple, that can make a big difference on one's quality of life.

The amount of time you give is flexible and scheduled around your availability. We do take into account your location to assign patient visits within or near your own community.

Companion volunteers receive training regarding the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members, as well as, helpful skills for meaningful visits with hospice patients and their families.

Volunteer and patient safety are our top priority. We follow CDC guidelines & respect the Covid-19 protocols of our partner facilities. At this time, volunteers are asked to complete a self-screening checklist prior to visits, wear a mask during visits and, of course, adhere to standard precautions, such as frequent handwashing. Allay will provide the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure safe practices can be followed.
