Hospice Volunteer (San Mateo County, CA)

Greetings wonderful person,

Adya Hospice & Palliative Care is looking for volunteers to make a difference in the world.

Adya Care volunteers are integral to our hospice care team, offering comfort and companionship during a pivotal time in our patients' lives. Each volunteer undergoes thorough screening and orientation, ensuring they embody the hospice philosophy of maximizing patient comfort and quality of life.

Our volunteers provide companionship and support, participating in team visits where they might read aloud, assist with crafts, facilitate outdoor excursions, accompany patients to meals, or help with correspondence. Some volunteers also contribute specialized skills like massage, music, or energy work, enriching the care we provide.

We need folks who would like to help us with any of these positions:

• "patient volunteer" companionship with patients and family/friends
• "office volunteer" help in our office
• "music volunteer" provide music with instruments or singing to patients
• "certified or licenced volunteer" massage therapists, acupuncturists, and cosmetologists

We are prioritizing folks who see themselves volunteering with us for at least 6 months and can commit to one shift per week.

Please fill out the application (link below) if you are ready to meet with us. You can email jplatt@adyacare.com if you have any questions. We will then contact you to discuss next steps.
