Patient Volunteer
ORGANIZATION: Our Hospice of South Central Indiana
Please visit the new page to apply.
Volunteers are needed at Our Hospice of South Central Indiana to help "Make Every Moment Count" for patients and families. In this role, a volunteer will provide companionship to patients and their families who are coping with advanced illnesses.
Companionship, socialization and emotional support can be provided to patients and their families through regular visits. Visiting patients or just sitting with someone who may not like to be left alone are some of the things that Companions volunteers do. A visit may consist of purely social activities or could involve light meal preparation, shopping, running errands, and light housekeeping chores if requested by the family. It is not the responsibility of companions to provide personal care or administer medication.
Sitter Duties - Scheduled visit with Patient for family member to go run errands, attend appointments, or to just have a break.
Volunteers participate in an orientation program, training and ongoing education.

Description
Our Hospice of South Central Indiana affirms life. Our Hospice provides support and care for persons in the phases of incurable disease so that they might live as fully and comfortably as possible. We recognize dying as a normal process whether or not resulting from disease. Hospice objectives are to extend the period of time in which patients can be safely, comfortably, and inexpensively cared for at home and for those patients who cannot be cared for at home, as a patient in the Hospice Inpatient Facility or other healthcare facilities; to develop an interdisciplinary team of professionls and volunteers who will provide comprehensive terminal care to the patient and family as a unit through competent pain and symptom control, comprehensive psychosocial and spiritual support and bereavement follow up; to act as an education resource to the community.
