Make Your Time Matter
Elara Caring Hospice is looking for Companion Volunteers who will visit patients in local nursing facilities or in private homes. The Companion Volunteer will provide companionship, play cards or games, watch TV, take the patient out into the garden area for fresh air, read to the patient, etc. There is NO physical care involved. Hours are flexible, weekdays, evenings, or weekends. Typically, we ask that you visit your assigned patient 1-2 hours per week.
For information contact Candy Whipple ~ cwhipple@elara.com or call 231-349-3355.
