Volunteers are the HEART of Heartland Hospice! We are looking for more special individuals in Racine County to join our growing team of superstar volunteers! Companion Volunteers enrich the lives of hospice patients in their area through regular visits, which may involve playing games, enjoying a leisurely stroll around the nursing home/assisted-living facility or just engaging in lively conversation. Service hours are flexible and scheduled according to your availability and location. YOU have the power to bring the greatest gifts to our patients’ lives... a smile and reassurance that comes with knowing they are genuinely cared for! If you have a little extra time to give to hear someone's life story, and have a big heart, click either brown RESPOND button at the top and bottom of this listing to notify Liz, Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, that you wish to learn more about our unique volunteer opportunities. We're waiting to hear from you!
Requirements of Companion Volunteers: must be 18 years or older; agree to a background/reference check; have reliable transportation; and attend an orientation to learn more about the philosophy of hospice, our company, the role of the volunteer and communicating with hospice patients and their families. Volunteer hours are extremely flexible and opportunities are scheduled according to needs, personality, availability and location.
