Become a Patient's/Caregiver's Volunteer Companion - Hospice

Save to Favorites

Whether you want to see the impact you make in the lives of patients directly or prefer to work behind the scenes, we invite you to become a member of a dedicated group of compassionate caregivers who serve as vital members of our hospice team. Star Hospice - a proud member of the LHC Group family - has been serving Lake, Cook, and McHenry Counties for over 40 years, and we have the honor of being a level 4 We Honor Veterans partner.

Hospice volunteers often say that helping those in need at a critical point in their lives is profoundly and emotionally meaningful. To learn how you can become a hospice volunteer in your community, please contact our volunteer services manager, Codie Ford, by calling (847.672.9225) or emailing (codie.ford@lhcgroup.com).

4 Reasons to Become a Hospice Volunteer
#1 You can make a real difference - in your own life and in the lives of others.
#2 You'll be part of a community - and a team - dedicated to helping those facing life's most difficult circumstances.
#3 You can enhance your personal and professional growth.
#4 You can choose your own schedule and participate in activities you enjoy and are passionate about.

Hospice volunteers provide non-clinical, companionship visits to hospice patients that include:

+ friendly conversations
+ sharing stories
+ reading to patients
+ watching TV and movies together
+ playing cards
+ writing letters or cards
+ listening to music together.

Volunteers may also provide supportive care by just being present with a patient and providing respite time for the family/caregiver.
