An Opportunity to Offer Companionship and Pampering to Hospice Patients

Flexible Schedule | Springfield, OH 45503

Hospice volunteers visiting nursing home patients lessen the burden on family members who may be too far away to play an active role in their loved one's life. With hospice training, you will find that your skill sets are sharpened and new ones emerge. Hospice volunteers are trained in communication skills, family dynamics and how to make a positive difference for patients and their caregivers. After you complete the required orientation, VITAS-trained volunteers are prepared to visit nursing homes and assisted living facilities to provide relief care for: caregivers, offer companionship and pampering to the patient, sit vigil, provide love with Paw Pals visits, and help in other meaningful ways.

A Forever Friend. Stitch a Memory Bear for Loved Ones of Hospice Patients.

Flexible Schedule | Springboro, OH 45066

VITAS Healthcare 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. For more information about VITAS Volunteer Services visit https://www.vitas.com/volunteer.

This organization gave my mother dignity at the end of her life, with people that truly cared about what they were doing. Since that passing, they have been there for me, offering support when ever I have needed it. It was an experience I will cherish the rest of my life.
