Heartland Hospice is looking for individuals who want to make the world a better place. And the thing is, it may be a lot easier to make that change than you think!
Our volunteers can change the lives of individuals by merely visiting with residents in nursing homes who maybe don't get many visitors on a normal basis. Come in and talk to, play cards with, or even watch TV with a resident in a nursing home. Share your interests with a wide range of those in need.
You could help multiple people feel hope and joy in their day-to-day life simply by being in the moment with them and giving them the gift of your time.
Hours are flexible, and determined by the volunteer's availability. If you have the ability to serve even 1 hour a week, that can change somebody else's outlook on life, not to mention the positive effect it will have on you as well.

About Heartland Hospice - Portsmouth
Location:
205 North Street, Lucasville, OH 45648, US
Mission Statement
To provide exceptional care with empathy for our patient and their families so they may live with comfort, dignity and respect.
Description
Heartland Hospice volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a hospice volunteer, you become a valuable part of our care team and play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those in our care. There are so many ways to help; everything from spending time with a patient, running an errand, or doing light housekeeping to even providing invaluable administrative support. Contact us today and our hospice volunteer coordinator will help you find the best way to help.
THE TASKS OF VOLUNTEERS MAY INCLUDE:- Helping with office support tasks at the agency
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading, or providing a comforting touch
- Playing or singing soothing music to patients
- Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
- Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
- Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
* We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.
