Hospice Indirect Volunteer

Make a meaningful impact-- on your schedule!

AccentCare Hospice is seeking compassionate volunteers to support our patients, families, and care teams behind the scenes. Indirect Care Volunteers play an essential role in ensuring our hospice services run smoothly and that patients and families feel supported—even without direct patient contact.

This role is ideal for those who want to make a difference through organization, creativity, and service while working in a flexible, supportive environment.

AccentCare Hospice proudly serves patients and families in your local community, wherever they call home.

What our Indirect Care Volunteers Do:

Volunteers provide non‑patient‑facing support that helps our care teams and families focus on what matters most. Opportunities may include:

• Assisting in the hospice office with administrative tasks
• Organizing supplies, assembling comfort kits, or preparing mailings
• Creating cards, crafts, memory items, or special projects for patients and families
• Supporting bereavement services and family programs
• Helping with outreach, events, and community engagement activities

Every task, big or small, helps us deliver compassionate, personalized care.

Other Indirect Care roles include:

• Circle of Care Caller- Make weekly calls to patients and caregivers to check in to see how they are doing and if any supplies or medicines are needed before the weekend!
• Bereavement Volunteers- Support our bereavement center by making calls to caregivers, family, and friends of patients that have passed at 6 and 12 month milestones (low risk for bereavement calls only).
• Memorial Event Support- Help support our memorial event where we bring patient's loved ones together to celebrate and memorialize their lives.

You can choose the role that best fits your interests, skills, and comfort level.

Time Commitment:

• A few hours a month to a few hours every week
• Flexible scheduling based on your availability
• Volunteer training is free and designed to fit your schedule
