"Celebrating Life' is one of our missions at Vitality Hospice. There are many ways to bring a smile to someone's face, even in the midst of end-of-life, like bringing them a 'Welcome Gift,' or converting donated flowers into an arrangement to give to patients, or perhaps, work with patients to decorate their doors during the Holiday, or it can be calling businesses to make a last Meaningful Moment happen. We are looking for Volunteers to work with staff, and to generate their own ideas, on how to brighten our families' days, and those who we support (the facilities that our patients are in). We want to build a group of volunteers, for each of our offices, to make ideas and wishes come to fruition. This is a new initiative, so those joining now will help shape and lead this endeavor. So it is not overly taxing on anyone individual, we are hoping to find many like-minded individuals to serve in this way. By showing your interest in this post, you'll start the process to get involved. Please know that all Hospice Volunteers do go through the same onboarding process, which includes background and health checks and a drug screening, aside from an orientation and other items.

Some diseases are cruel. Dementia issues create a scenario where the patient is too weak to walk, but doesn't remember that they are, so they try and walk, but they end up falling instead. We want to do what we can to prevent that from happening to the patients we serve. Economics are such, that no hospice, nor nursing facility, can offer one-on-one attention for every patient, 24 hours a day. (And if they did, the cost of the care would be too prohibitive for most people.) One option to help prevent these falls is YOU! Having many volunteers visit for an hour or two, each week, helps share the load and can keep patients safe from themselves. And while you're with them, you may reminisce about the old days, or just be quite, sharing the moment; it’s all a worthy way to spend your time, knowing that your presence with them is preventing them from falling. From our Langhorne, PA office, we serve patients, with our End-of-Life Care and support, throughout Bucks and Montgomery Counties. So, we need Volunteers throughout those Counties too. (But as a volunteer, you will go only where you are willing to drive to.) If you agree with me and like the idea of keeping someone safe by spending time with them, please respond to this post. Though, I'm going to be upfront, and let you know that the onboarding to become a Hospice Volunteer can be arduous for some, as it includes some self-guided education, health checks, including a drug screening, and a criminal background check. Some of this is mandated by the State and other items are just best practice. Again, respond to this post if you want details.

Hospice is a special kind of care, designed to support people at the end of their life, as well as to their loved ones, who will be the most impacted when the patient is gone. Volunteers provide the meaningful extras that can be vital to those who need it. Volunteers, in essence, give their time to be with others, so they don't have to be alone, as they travel on their final months, weeks, hours into the great unknown. If you are a patient person, who understands the power of presence, please consider volunteering your time to help our patients. Our Langhorne, PA office is the hub of care brought to those on our service in Bucks and Montgomery Counties... So, we need Volunteers throughout that area, but as a Volunteer, you will only go where you are comfortable traveling to. Many religious groups preach about the benefits to administering to the sick. Many Hospice Volunteers who do it for a while, often say that they get more out of it than they give. If you have an inclination towards this way of giving back, please reply to this post.

This volunteer position would provide respite for a caregiver so they can have time to care for themselves. Often times, caregivers dedicate every minute to their loved one on hospice. By having a volunteer sit with their loved one, they are given time to step away, go to a doctors appointment, run to the grocery store, or just get some fresh air. Weekends would be the preferred time to sit with this patient at their home, though a weekday would also work if that works best for the volunteers schedule. It would be an hour each week (or every other week) to sit at this patients home while the primary caregiver can feel comfortable stepping away. We aim to work with our volunteers schedule, so please don't hesitate to apply for this position if the above stated time doesn't work. We can always work together to create a schedule that works for you and the family. As a volunteer with our organization, you would be an integral part of our team and build unforgettable relationships with patients and caregivers. We strive to bring joy and life into the lives of those with advanced illness. Whatever your interests or skillset, we are in need of your help and look forward to welcoming you to our hospice family.
