Do you want to make a difference in someone's life? Consider volunteering through Three Oaks Hospice. We are seeking caring and compassionate volunteers to help with patient companionship visits and caregiver respite visits, administrative, and bereavement.
Youth 16+ are able to serve as administrative volunteers.
+) Direct patient care volunteer - making companionship visits or time spent with a patient doing various activities like: listening and sharing stories, reading, playing cards or board games, playing music, lite chores, watching TV or movies, writing letters, simply being a presence of peace and quiet. These visits often provide a space for the caregiver to have a few hours to care for their personal needs such as; doctor appointments, shopping, and projects around the house, time to spend with their supportive relationships. We will never be asked to perform medical tasks such as feeding or toileting, or any engagement with medications.
+) Administrative volunteer - providing office support such as, making copies, preparing binders, helping with office projects, answering the phone, and other administrative tasks.
+) Bereavement volunteer - making phone calls, preparing bereavement resources, and other tasks which primarily happen after the patient has passed, we continue to care for their families 13 months after their loved one passed away.
