Caregivers provide essential support to patients, but they also need breaks. As a Caregiver Respite
Volunteer with CorsoCare, you’ll provide short-term support for families, giving caregivers time to rest, run
errands, or take care of personal needs while ensuring patients remain safe and comfortable.
What You’ll Do
Sit with patients in the home or care setting while caregivers take a needed break
Provide companionship, emotional support, and safety for patients
Engage patients in light activities such as conversation, reading, or quiet reflection
Offer peace of mind to families knowing their loved one is in capable, caring hands
How On-Call Volunteering Works
Volunteers are placed on an on-call schedule for their local area (within about 1 hour of their home
base) based on their availability
Volunteers are required to provide support on a recurring basis for their scheduled on-call shifts. For
example, if you are scheduled for Wednesdays, you may be called to provide respite on any
Wednesday when a caregiver request occurs
While unforeseen circumstances may occasionally prevent participation, regular commitment to
your scheduled shifts is expected
