Bellevue, WA- Hospice Volunteers Needed!

Make a difference and help to improve someone's quality of life, by providing compassionate presence and care to Gentiva Hospice patients and families living in Bellevue and surrounding communitites.

Volunteers are an essential part of our dynamic interdisciplinary team (of nurses, doctors, spiritual care providers, social workers and home health aides). Our Patient Care Hospice volunteers help to provide support and comfort to our hospice patients and families, by visiting them during a time of need.

Gentiva Hospice volunteers serve in a multitude of ways, including offering patient companionship (such as reading a book, engaging in conversation, actively listening by the bedside, playing card games, singing or holding someone's hand). Volunteers may also provide caregiver/family respite, or light household work, running errands or engaging in arts/crafts activity. Volunteers may also assist with special events such as memorial services and veteran pinning ceremonies for our hospice patients and families.

Qualified candidates must be at least 18 years of age, pass a background check, interview, TB test, urine drug test, orientation training and orientation competency test.

To receive application materials or further information, please contact Volunteer Coordinator, Drea Harell at andrea.harrell@gentivahs.com or call (206)525-1090.
