Gentiva Hospice is looking for compassionate hearts to serve our hospice patients/veterans (no medical work experience necessary - we will train you). Our companionship volunteers can serve in a wide array of ways such as:
- Offer Companionship/Emotional/Spiritual Support to patients (in home or nursing facilities)
- Run errands/shopping for patients
- Singing/playing music to patients
- Playing games with patients
- Sit with patients/respite for caregivers (no more than 3 hours at a time)
- Light housekeeping for our families
- Providing meals/food to patients (based on dietary restrictions)
Potential volunteers must complete a background check, drug screening, and a Tuberculosis Skin Test (all provided and paid for by Gentiva). We also provide training for volunteers to ensure that they are prepared for their role!
We have no set schedules or shifts. Our volunteers are able to volunteer for whatever works for their schedule. We can even have volunteers on weekends.
