Home Hospice / Senior Nursing Facility Volunteers

Volunteers are the Heart of Hospice & Community Care

"Hospice isn't about dying in the end. It's about living till the end." ~ HCC Volunteer

Looking for a unique & incredibly rewarding way to serve your local community & make a difference? Hospice & Community Care is seeking volunteers to provide companionship, emotional support, and social connection to patients in our care, either in their private residences or senior nursing facilities.

Volunteer Tasks May Include:

• Bringing comfort & companionship to patients through regular, friendly visits.
• Reading to patients, playing games or music, singing, or providing comforting touch.
• Staying with patients so caregivers can get a much-needed respite.
• Recording & documenting patient's life stories and history.

To become a Hospice & Community Care volunteer you just need to have a heart full of compassion and a desire to make a meaningful difference. Training is provided for all prospective volunteers with both in-person and online options offered throughout the year, and Volunteer Coordinators are available to provide continued support.

If you're interested in joining our dedicated & amazing volunteer corps, please contact Jen Horan at (717) 735-2466 or email jhoran@hospicecommunity.org.
