Compassionate Hospice Companion Volunteer

Overview AccentCare Hospice is seeking compassionate volunteers to help brighten the lives of our patients. Whether you are playing music for our patients, praying with them, providing aromatherapy, visiting with a therapy dog, making supportive phone calls to bereaved families, or sewing memory bears, you can make a difference in the lives of hospice patients. While you are brightening our patients' lives you might find that your life becomes brighter too! Volunteer Roles Direct care volunteers visit with patients wherever they call home to provide companionship and socialization. Loyal Friends Pet Teams bring therapy dogs to visit our patients. Music companions use the power of music to enhance the quality of our patients' lives. Spiritual companions share their faith with patients of the same religious background and complement the services of our chaplains. Legacy project volunteers assist patients and families with creating meaningful projects to honor the patients' life. Vigil volunteers provide supportive presence at the bedside of patients who are actively dying. Other volunteer opportunities are available to support patients, families, and staff. Qualifications and Requirements Even if you only have a few hours a month to give, we would be honored to have you join our team and support our mission of offering compassionate, personalized hospice care. Training is free and flexible to fit your schedule and you are able to choose what area you want to serve. Students aged 15 and up are encouraged to join us as indirect volunteers or can buddy with another student to make in-person visits to patients. Contact and Next Steps We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find ways to share your talents with those at the end of life. #J-18808-Ljbffr Broughton Group
