Do you have an hour or two per week to sit by the bedside of our Veteran patients, honor their service, or just be a compassionate presence? You can help them to recollect their stories, bringing meaning to the sacrifice they made to serve our country, and help them heal just by listening.
No prior hospice experience is necessary. We provide you with training and ongoing support.
To become a hospice volunteer at Sutter Care at Home the greatest gift one can offer is their time, caring nature and willingness to be present and just listen. Training and ongoing support are provided to all volunteers, so experience is not required. Volunteers are trained to enhance the overall goal of meeting the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs of hospice patients and their families.
It's a great opportunity to servethe community while learning new skills and enhancing existing ones. Volunteers provide social visits to hospice patients living in their homes or in care facilities. They can give caregivers a little break or time to rest. Volunteers can be a caring companion and compassionate listener to both patients and families. While volunteers cannot provide clinical or personal care, they may be able to assist with routine tasks and errands, play music, help make a scrap book or just chat with the patient.
Our requirements: Volunteers receive 11 hours of self-paced, online training, health clearance and a background check is done through Sutter Health. Also you must consent to a criminal background check, and submit a copy of current driver’s license and auto insurance. Sutter will provide health screening and any necessary vaccinations. A minimum of 1-2 hours of volunteering per week and a 1 year commitment is required. Volunteers work closely with Volunteer Program Coordinator as members of the multidisciplinary hospice team, attending monthly support meeting (optional) and visiting patient(s) once a week.
For more information, call Jennifer Fisher (650)454-4372. Thank you!
