About this Opportunity

Do you want to provide comfort and companionship to patients during their final moments? As a NODA (No One Dies Alone) Volunteer with CorsoCare, you’ll ensure that patients are not alone at the end of life, offering a calm and compassionate presence.

What You’ll Do

  • Sit by the bedside, providing a calming presence for patients who may not be conscious or

responsive

  • Offer supportive presence through gentle conversation, reading, soft music, or gentle touch
  • Support grieving families at the bedside, providing reassurance and compassion
  • Engage in life review when possible – help patients share memories, reflect on their life journey, and leave a meaningful legacy

How NODA Volunteering Works

  • NODA shifts are based on specific patient need and may not follow a regular schedule
  • Requests can happen at any time; when a need arises, a notification is sent to all NODA volunteers.
  • Volunteers may pick up 1–3 hours if they are available, but there is no requirement to respond if they cannot

We suggest volunteers maintain a regular schedule as a Companionship Volunteer while keeping on-call availability for NODA

Why Volunteer

  • Make a profound difference in a patient’s final moments
  • Flexible scheduling options to fit your availability
  • Gain meaningful experience in healthcare, social work, or hospice care

Requirements

  • Compassion, reliability, and a willingness to provide calm, supportive presence
  • Completion of volunteer training program
  • Background check and TB test
  • For NODA specifically: Must have at least one month (or 4 visits) experience as a Companionship

Volunteer unless they have prior hospice experience

  • Provide dignity, comfort, and companionship when it matters most – ensure no one dies alone.

Commitment Details:

We work with your schedule! Volunteers can visit once a week, twice a month, or once a month—whatever fits best for you. Typical visits last 1–3 hours, but timing can be flexible based on your availability and the patient’s needs.

Specific assignment location will be within 30 minutes of the selected city.
