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.
