Companionship 'Vet to Vet' Volunteer for Hospice Patients
Descripción
Descripción
Veteran Companionship volunteers are needed to visit with and enrich the quality of life for fellow Veteran patients with a life-shortening diagnosis who are receiving hospice care. This program allows volunteers to be matched once on one with another veteran patient. The volunteers can also set their own schedule that is convenient for both parties. Typically, a volunteer would make a companionship visit 2-4 times monthly for approx. 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Additionally, veteran volunteers may occasionally be called upon to make special "pinning" or "final salute" one time visits to assist in honoring a veteran with a framed certificate and pins. This is a wonderful way to make a difference for fellow veterans. This is an extremely meaningful and rewarding way.

Once I receive your information, you will be called for an interview, once the interview is complete you will be handed a packet of information to fill out.
From there I will run a background check, you will schedule a drug test through LabCorp paid for by Gentiva. Once I get your background check and drug screen back you will need a current TB test which can be done in office.
Then from there you will do education and a test.
Once that is complete you will be set up with your patient!
Can be overwhelming at first but the process can go smoothly and quickly depending on YOU!
