Hospice Volunteer

Open Opportunity

About

We are looking for caring, compassionate volunteers willing to spend a few hours a month helping to support patients and their families. As little as a few hours a month can bring so much support to these patients and their families. On average, hospice volunteers give 4-8 hours per month. New hospice volunteers participate in free training that is available at your convenience. Opportunities Available: Direct Care Volunteers- Phone calls, in-home visits, running errands for patients, and activities like reading, praying, playing music, etc. Bereavement Support Volunteers- There are volunteers, ages 16 and older, who provide emotional support to families who have lost their loved one with hospice through phone calls, mail-outs (cards & letters) and home visits. Special Projects Volunteers- These are volunteers of any age who are part of a group or work independently to provide support to the office staff or to provide comfort items for patients such as blankets, attending health fairs, and assisting at nursing facilities. Benefits: 1. Looks great on resumes! 2. Use us as a reference! 3. Gain medical experience! 4. Obtain a sense of purpose and self-satisfaction! *Amedisys is a leading provider of home health care and hospice services, focused on providing professional and personalized care for each and every patient in the comfort of his or her home.
