Great Lakes Caring Hospice, a leading care provider in the Midwest, is looking to add volunteers to our team. We are searching for volunteers who are passionate about making a difference, self-motivated, brimming with creativity and up for a challenge.
Providing end of life care for patients and families is no easy task. Volunteers will learn to embrace the hospice philosophy as they navigate end of life care. Companion Volunteers offer friendly visits and socialization to Hospice patients at the bedside, and offer caregivers a much needed break by providing respite support.
Hours are flexible, and include weekdays, evenings or weekends. Most volunteers spend 1-2 hours per week visiting assigned patients.
