Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Gentiva Hospice

The Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program aims to pair recruited Veteran Volunteers with hospice patients who have been identified as Veterans. Once paired with hospice patients who also have military experience, Veteran Volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with each patient thereby creating an environment where life review and healing may occur.

What can Veteran Volunteers do?

- Assist Veterans in reminiscing/telling life stories.
- Educate and assist patients in receiving Veteran benefits.
- Take part in pinning ceremonies or distribute certificates for Veterans Day and other recognition events.
- Assist in replacing lost medals.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Gentiva Hospice Veteran Volunteer!

At Gentiva, we believe every day is an opportunity to make care more personal and life more comfortable. That's why we offer personal care, home health care, palliative care, and hospice care to give people the support they need with dignity, grace, and love.

Description

Seeking caring hearts and helping hands for hospice patient volunteers..

We are Gentiva Hospice

If you’re looking to give your time to your community what better way than to care for the people who live near you?

Hospice patients sometimes just need someone to drop by and visit or give them a call and chat about the weather, our Veterans enjoy other Veterans talking about service they served and how times have changed, etc.

Our office staff enjoy extra hands to help keep things running smoothly and orderly.

Time is a precious gift. How do you share your gift? Who do you share your gift with?
