Companionship volunteers needed!

Flexible Schedule | Lynchburg, VA 24515

We believe that our patients and their families come first as well as providing excellent service during the transitional period by accommodating the whole family with compassion and care. Volunteering plays a vital role in the hospice program, and we are always on the lookout for volunteers to support our patients and their families. We strive to provide comfort and excellent care to create the best experience possible for everyone involved. We look to our volunteers to provide a variety of support services to our patients. Here are some examples of what our volunteers can do: Hold a hand, share a story. Listen, read or sing to the patient. Run errands. Relieve for caregivers so they have time to do things they would like to do. Read the bible, sing hymns for them. Each of these volunteer roles brings another level of quality care and comfort to our patients and families at the end of life. As a volunteer, you will give the amazing gift of compassion and often when you give this gift, you also get compassion in return.

Companionship Volunteer

Flexible Schedule | Riner, VA 24149

x/c/v/ Companionship volunteers are needed to visit and enrich the quality of life for a patient with a life -shortening diagnosis who is receiving hospice care. This program, with adequate training, allows volunteers to be matched one on one with a patient. The volunteer will be able to have his/her autonomy to choose various ways to offer kindness through companionship, which may include general dialogue, reading, sharing musical talents, and at times just simply holding their hand. The volunteers can also set their own schedule that is convenient for both parties. Typically, a volunteer would make a companionship visit 2-4 times monthly from approx. 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Additionally, visits could involve helping the family cope by offering respite time as the family member runs errands or running errands for them or helping to prepare meals. Whether you are retired, a student needing volunteer hours, or just wanting to make a difference for others, this is an extremely meaningful and rewarding way to contribute to your community.
