Gentiva Hospice volunteers are a vital asset to our organization and especially to our patients. Hospice companionship volunteers work directly with patients in their homes or in facilities to provide non-medical companionship to patients and their families. Our volunteers read books, listen to music, play games, lend a listening ear, and create memories with our patients and their families. When caregivers need a break or have errands to run, our volunteers step in to help out. Volunteer experience at Gentiva Hospice is meant to match your skill set and abilities, so each volunteer has a personalized volunteer experience. Volunteers provide non-medical companionship and DO NOT perform any medical duties. Companionship volunteers must be 18 or older. No medical experience required.
