The journey of grief can be a lonely road to walk alone.

Volunteer a small amount of your time to make 6 and 12 month check-in calls to families who have recently had a loved one die. After a patient passes, Accent Care Hospice of Jackson offers support to their loved ones for at least 13 months following the loss.

We do this in hopes to ease the pain loved ones experience as they walk along the path of grief.

Bereavement Check-In Call Volunteers support the grief needs of low-risk family members, friends, and members of the community. Specific training will be provided.

Qualifying applicants are U.S. Citizens that are 15 years of age or older and able to pass a health screen, background check, and drug test.

Notice: Our volunteer opportunities require in-person completion of some hiring modules and training during the onboarding process. Applicants should consider this requirement upon application and be able to accommodate.

Other Volunteer Opportunities include:

  • Direct Patient Care
  • Caregiver Relief
  • Office Support
  • Pet Therapy
  • Vigil Volunteer
  • and more!

- Direct care volunteers visit with patients wherever they call home to provide companionship and socialization.
- Music companions use the power of music to enhance the quality of our patients ’ lives.
- Spiritual companions share their faith with patients of the same religious background and complement the services of our chaplains.
- Legacy project volunteers assist patients and families with creating meaningful projects to honor the patients’ life.
- Vigil volunteers provide supportive presence at the bedside of patients who are actively dying .

These are just a few of the ways volunteers in our organization support our patients, families, and staff.

Training is free and flexible to fit your schedule and you can choose what area you want to serve. Students age 13 and up are encouraged to join us as indirect volunteers or can buddy with another trained volunteer (teen or adult) to make in-person visits to patients in facilities .

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find ways to share your talents with those at the end of life.
