Calling All Veterans: Your Comrades Need You

Become a Veteran Volunteer with Gentiva Hospice

We are seeking dedicated veterans to provide companionship and support to fellow veterans during their most vulnerable time. Your shared bond and love of country can bring incredible comfort and dignity in the final chapter of life.

What We Ask of You:

• 6 hours per month commitment
• Complete onboarding requirements (just like staff):
  • Background Check
  • TB Gold Blood Test
  • Drug Screening
  • Valid State-Issued ID
  • Driver’s License & Auto Insurance (if you plan to drive)
• 12 hours of education per year

Why It Matters:

Hospice is not just about medical care—it's about community, compassion, and connection. As a veteran, your presence offers understanding, respect, and solidarity that only a fellow service member can provide.

You served your country—now you can serve again, heart to heart.

🌟 Direct Care Volunteers Needed

Spend face-to-face time with patients—wherever they call home: a private residence, facility, or boarding home.

While you will not assist with physical care (feeding, bathing, toileting, walking, or moving patients), your presence and kindness offer powerful comfort.

Patients enjoy:

• Simple conversation and friendly visits
• Reading together
• Playing cards or listening to music
• Quiet companionship

Veteran Volunteers Needed

We especially need veterans to support fellow service members through companionship and shared experience.

Your presence means dignity, understanding, and honor in their final season of life.
