Hospice Volunteers needed in West Georgia

Thank you so much for your interest in joining our hospice volunteer team!

Let me share a little bit about who we are and how we work. We are an in-home hospice care company, which means we visit patients wherever they call home—whether that’s a private residence, memory care facility, nursing home, or assisted living center. Please note that there is some travel involved.

We ask that you consider this volunteer opportunity thoughtfully before committing. Ideally, we ask volunteers to visit their assigned patient once per week for about an hour, though we can be flexible. The minimum commitment is twice per month.

To be considered as a volunteer, the following steps must be completed:

1. Fill out a volunteer application.
2. Sign a consent form for a background check (we cover the cost).
3. Complete a TB test (two-step process): You’ll need to return for a follow-up to have your TB spot read. We offer this for free at our office.
4. Complete 9 online training modules.
5. Attend an in-person orientation.

Once all steps are completed, we’ll match you with a patient.

Please note: volunteers do not provide any hands-on medical care. Our role is to offer companionship and emotional support. You may assist with light household tasks, read with patients, watch TV together, play games, go for walks, color, or simply be present while a caregiver runs errands.

If this opportunity speaks to your heart, let’s set up a short interview to get to know each other better. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Alesa.Smith@agapehc.net
