This volunteer opportunity is through CorsoCare Hospice & NOT the assisted living facility. Please contact Nikki Gerber, Volunteer Recruiting Specialist/Administrative Assistant via this VolunteerMatch link or at nicole.gerber@corsocare.com or (248) 260-8257.

Can you spare an hour for an elderly hospice patient? CorsoCare Hospice is seeking compassionate, empathetic individuals who are willing to give their time and supportive presence by visiting hospice patients at Maple Lake Assisted Living & Memory Care. We have a specific need for a volunteer who can visit on Saturdays to offer companionship and caregiver relief.

Our volunteers share their time in many ways and may include reading to the patient, taking a walk, playing cards, watching TV, chatting or some other low-key activity the patient feels up to doing. Sometimes just sitting with them is enough.

CorsoCare provides all PPE necessary to ensure a safe and enriching experience on every visit. You will also be provided ongoing one-on-one staff support throughout your service with us and will be invited to education opportunities and appreciation events.

If you have any questions, or need further information, please contact Nikki Gerber, Volunteer Recruiting Specialist/Administrative Assistant, at (248) 260-8257 or nicole.gerber@corsocare.com.

"Volunteers comfort with their presence. One does not need to know all the right words to say but the ability to just be present." -Gina Davis

With CorsoCare Hospice, you get an entire team that provides the physical, emotional and logistical support you need. Your team does more than ease pain - they lift spirits, guide meaningful conversations and help you savor the little moments. From painting fingernails to pet companionship, cutting through health care red tape and providing spiritual counsel - everything is about helping you and your loved ones spend the remaining time together focusing on what truly matters: celebrating a life well lived.
