Hospice Volunteer Needed

Make a real different in someone’s life!

Elara Caring, one of the nation’s largest providers of home-based care, is looking for

compassionate volunteers willing to donate their time to provide exceptional end-of-life care to

local hospice patients and their families.

Volunteers are needed to visit with patients and engage them in activities such as playing

music, singing, working on a craft project, sharing a special, or simply providing companionship

through listening, talking or holding a hand. Volunteers can sometimes provide respite car,

allowing family members to take a much-needed break.

There are also volunteer opportunities within the Elara Caring Hospice office, assisting staff with

mailing, filing, data entry and other special projects.

Elara Caring is also looking for pet therapy volunteers. These volunteers, along with their

trained pet companions, visit Hospice patients in facilities. Dogs must be certified in order to visit

patients.

Hours are very flexible, weekdays, evenings or weekends. Typically we ask that you visit your

assigned patient 1-2 hours per week or offer 1-2 hours per week or work in the office.
