Our volunteers are a vital part of our Hospice team. They provided needed respite, support, and comfort to patients and their families and caregivers. We appreciate any and all time that our volunteers can give. There is no set requirement of hours per day, week or month. Volunteers do not provide any direct patient care. You may choose to sit with a patient that can still communicate or not. Many volunteers like to read, sit/walk outdoors, or play music with their patients. Some may like to just sit quietly and hold a hand. The choice is totally up to you.
*Since our volunteers go into patient homes and are part of our hospice team, Medicare guidelines require a drug test, background check and TB test which is scheduled and paid for by Ambercare.
