No One Dies Alone – Become a NODA Volunteer with CorsoCare!

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
