About this Opportunity

Weekends can be a nice time to offer your time to our patients and their families. If in a facility, that is when facility staffing drops to the minimum, so increased volunteer visits can ward off feelings of loneliness. In a private home, that is when a family member caring for a loved one could have opportunities to see grandchildren's sporting games or other family gatherings, that they would otherwise miss without having your support by staying with the patient.

Facility visits can be about an hour (per patient) but private home visits would be about 3 hours.

If you are looking for a place to do good, please consider Vitality Hospice.
