About this Opportunity

Hope Hospice & Palliative Care is seeking volunteers to provide 1:1 companionship and/or participate in group activities with our patients residing in assisted living facilities and in their homes. Activities that volunteers provide range from talking, reading, playing music, card & board games, arts & crafts, as well as assisting with group activities such as bingo, bible studies, performances and much more!

Volunteers with Hope are truly appreciated by our patients as they love attention and entertainment. Our patients have expressed they are grateful for volunteers as their presence brightens their day and makes them feel valued. Volunteering with Hope provides flexibility with scheduling, making it perfect for those with busy schedules, and for students in need of volunteer hours. Volunteer must be able to provide transportation.

Once accepting this need, you will be contacted by the Hope Volunteer Coordinator to schedule an initial meeting. A background check and other screening documentation will be reviewed during the initial meeting. Per Medicare requirements, all volunteers must have a current TB test within the past year. If you do not have a recent TB test or have never been TB tested, Hope will assist in providing this requirement. If under 18, an adult will need to be processed as a volunteer and provide accompaniment. Volunteers will work closely with the Volunteer Coordinator and be given ongoing support by the Volunteer Coordinator as well as other teammates on our interdisciplinary team.
