For a few hours each week, you will get to spend quality time with a Uni Care Hospice patient currently living independently or in an Assisted Living, Memory Care, or Skilled Nursing Facility, who might not otherwise have a friend visit often. Life Companions might join the patient to do an activity hosted by the facility, listen to their favorite music, play a card or board game, take a stroll with them down memory lane, and most importantly, be there to share the experience of life! Key Responsibilities: Provide companionship to a person in hospice care. Be creative and open to learning. Listen and observe attentively to get to know the person you are visiting. Share mutual interests, conversation, and mealtimes with patient. Collaborate with hospice staff and interdisciplinary team for training, mentoring, and to provide continuity of service to the patient. Scheduling Visits: Varies depending on the patient’s needs and your availability.When matching you to a patient, volunteer services staff will take into consideration your schedule, location, and similar interests.
