Sutter Care at Home Roseville Hospice is looking to create a dedicated team of volunteers that would participate in our yearly Veteran events/activities. These events/activities include Stand Down (three day event that provides food, health screenings, and resources to homeless Vets), Veteran Benefits Panel, Wreaths Across America, Homeless Shelters, Memorial Day events, Hospice Veterans Day event, Carry the Load, and presentations at VFW/American Legion/other community veterans group/ churches/Senior centers
The first step to becoming a hospice volunteer is to contact our volunteer department. You will be asked to complete an application followed by an interview. You will then take the online hospice volunteer training followed by an in-person orientation.
Because hospice is regulated through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, volunteers must meet the following requirements:

Mission Statement
Sutter Care at Home enhances the health and well being of the people in the communities we serve through a not-for-profit commitment to compassion and excellence in home-based services and products.
Description
To become a hospice volunteer at Sutter Care at Home the greatest gift you can offer is your time, your caring nature, and your willingness to listen. Training and ongoing support are provided to all volunteers, so experience is not required. It's a great opportunity to learn new skills and enhance existing ones. Volunteers are trained to enhance the overall goal of meeting the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs of hospice patients and their families.
Volunteers may stay with the patient to give the caregiver some time away or time to rest and they 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.
Requirements: Volunteers receive 24 hours of training, health clearance and a background check, and attend monthly educational meetings. They must work closely with Volunteer Program Coordinator as members of the hospice team.
