Companionship Volunteers needed in Fairfax & nearby communities

What does it mean to become a companion to a hospice patient?

It’s all about giving your attentive presence to another - you focus on your assigned patient to be a "companion". We’re looking for people with big hearts, who are good listeners, and okay with just being quiet sometimes. Our training is all online.

You may offer companionship in facilities, provide respite to caregivers in homes, assist with writing/reading, share your musical talents, or answer other patient and family needs. Wherever they call home. You can even support from home by sending cards or making phone calls.

At end of life your support is greatly appreciated by our staff and those we serve!

Thank you for considering,

Pamela Ainslie, Volunteer Coordinator
