Haven shows our appreciation to patients who have served in the military by providing them with a special pinning ceremony and presentation of a certificate for their years of service in the military. All branches of the military are recognized. This volunteer opportunity is for retired or active military as Haven feels that it means so much to our patients to receive this ceremony from someone who has also served.

Patient Family Volunteers

Flexible Schedule | Jacksonville, FL 32256

Hospice patient and family volunteers are vital members of the hospice team. They work closely with Hospice nurses, social workers and hospice care aides to assist in providing much needed support for patients, family members and caregivers. Their contributions range from providing periods of respite for the family, to reading to the patient or simply being there when needed for companionship and comfort. They provide friendship, support and assistance to patients residing at home and in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, hospitals and hospice residential and inpatient Care Centers. Volunteers wishing to provide direct care services to patients and families must complete a 16-hour volunteer training program, as well as a screening process that includes a reference check, a background check, a TB test, and a personal interview. After training, a one-year volunteer commitment is required. Those who have experienced the death of a loved one must wait at least one year before volunteering with patients and families. This opportunity has locations in the Gainesville, Lake City, Chiefland, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Deland and Palatka areas. Ages 18 and up are welcome to volunteer.

It's a great cause and a great organization. The volunteer coordinator is very motivated and educated us on everything about hospice. I've volunteered before for a hospice but never for their store. I'm loving it. It's a wonderful team, too:)

When my grandmother passed away in August 2006, Haven hospice was sending nurses to help with her. The Hospice nurses were very nice and helpful.
