Give a Loved-One a Break from Caregiving

Flexible Schedule | Daytona Beach, FL 32117

VITAS Healthcare (r) is looking for kind and caring people to help terminally ill patients and their families - just by being there. Many of our patients live at home with family members or friends who rarely get the opportunity to leave the house because they are devoted to caring for their ill loved ones. Relief care (sitting with a patient while the caregiver takes a break) is one of our biggest volunteer needs. For caregivers to have the opportunity to run an errand, go see a movie, go to a doctor’s appointment or go on an outing can work wonders to renew their energy and better equip them for the responsibilities of care-giving. VITAS Volunteer orientation is provided free of charge to help you learn the skills required to be an outstanding hospice volunteer. Time and dates are ongoing and flexible. We are especially looking for volunteers who would be available during daytime, weekday hours but weekends or evenings are also helpful.

Stitch a Memory Bear. Create a Forever Friend.

Flexible Schedule | Daytona Beach, FL 32117

VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for people who love to sew and who are able to share their skills with hospice patients and families. A Memory Bear, sewn by a volunteer with compassion and love, is a forever friend who can ease a hurting heart after the death of a VITAS hospice patient. Sewn from a favorite pair of jeans, a pullover top, dress, bathrobe or nightgown, a Memory Bear may recall the closeness of a loved one, bring a smile to someone in distress, or offer a sense of security to a child who feels alone after the loss of a parent or sibling. This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking time out of your busy work week you can make the biggest difference in another’s life.

Make a "Dog-Gone" Difference in a Hospice Patient's Life

Flexible Schedule | Daytona Beach, FL 32117

VITAS invites friendly and well-behaved pets to join the Paw Pals SM program, in which animals and their humans learn how to visit patients at the end of their life. A registered VITAS Paw Pals SM visitor can offer comfort, bring back memories, encourage activity and provide unconditional love to VITAS patients. Your visits leave behind memories of you and your pet, and rekindle thoughts of other pets. Pet visits can sometimes reach a patient when no one else can. Our Paw Pals SM brightens the day for everyone when they visit. All kinds of pets are invited to join VITAS’ Paw Pals Club. Paw Pals SM must be well-groomed, at least one- year old, and have up-to-date health records. For more information about VITAS Volunteer Services visit https://www.vitas.com/volunteer.

: Volunteer to bring Harmony and Happiness to Hospice Patients

Flexible Schedule | Daytona Beach, FL 32117

VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for musical volunteers who are able to play musical instruments and/or sing for hospice patients living at home, in the hospital or in long term care facilities. Sometimes what a hospice patient needs most is a way to express feelings without talking. By playing or singing their favorite songs or hymns, VITAS music volunteers help patients and families reconnect with feelings and memories that can bring about a sense of peace and happiness. VITAS provides training on how to work with people at the end of life. The volunteer provides the talent, compassion and time. Assignments are made according to the volunteer’s time and location.

Hello, As per Jacqueline Rivera's request, I did update my contract information. I am interested in using my office skill set, as well as my extensive customer service experience. One of my areas of interest is in the medical setting, as I have background in medical office and hospital, as well as dental office. Specifically, I enjoy working with seniors, and have specialized in serving that group in just about every employment position. I am in hopes that there might be a volunteer position for me currently. Thank you, Adrienne Norman
