Aseracare Hospice is seeking volunteers who are available and willing to provide caregivers with respite volunteering by scheduling a time to visit patients in accordance with the caregivers needs. the time spent with the patient does not have a regular schedule, and may be indirect (e.g. patient companionship is less critical here than having a presence in the home to provide for emergent needs while the care giver is away). Often there is only one visit, but sometimes repeat respite visits are requested. When respite visits are regularly scheduled, they can be filled by any volunteer trained for companioning patients and function as companion visits in all ways, with the caregiver’s needs as the main priority.

REQUIREMENTS:

Aseracare Hospice is seeking volunteers who are willing to provide vigil support to patients and families. Volunteers are available who are willing and able to sit with patient who is actively dying or otherwise in need of immediate support (e.g. for management of symptoms such as anxiety, minimizing fall risk, depression, etc). The visit may address a one time need or a periodic need but differs from a companion assignment in that the focus is on providing support to the patient during a critical time in their hospice care - either while actively dying or while moving through another form of crisis or transition.

REQUIREMENTS:

AseraCare Hospice is seeking volunteers can play a musical instrument and/or can sing and are interested in joining “Harmony of Hearts” a volunteer music outreach program.

“Harmony of Hearts” is a volunteer music outreach that brings peace to the dying and comfort to their families. The music outreach is to create therapeutic music to help brighten the last days/hours of life for patients. Volunteers can visit on their own or we can join together in groups of two or three and visit patients in the area, bringing them the gift of music.

Volunteers interested in this program must be at least 18 years of age. Volunteers under 18 must be supervised by an adult. They must be able to play an instrument or be able to sing.  Instruments with a soft and soothing sound are preferred such as guitar, autoharp or violin etc.  This program is very open and flexible to those special people that are interested in helping others. Volunteers play an important role in providing social support and decreasing isolation that can so often occur for the terminally ill.

Volunteers are provided free training, a training certificate, and can work flexible hours that suit their individual schedules. Volunteer training blends ancient wisdom with contemporary practices.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ABILITIES & BEHAVIORS

Our volunteers have the opportunity to become a companion to a hospice patient – what does that entail? 

Really it’s all about giving your attentive presence to another – you focus on your assigned patient to be a “companion”.  We’re looking for people with big hearts, who are good listeners, and okay with just being quiet sometimes and sitting with a patient too.  We request that you have approximately 1-3 hours per week available whenever assigned to a patient, have good personal boundaries and the ability to keep all visits confidential. Our volunteers repeatedly tell us and others, they’ve gained so much more from this volunteer work than they have ever given.  You may offer companionship, help with errands, provide respite to caregivers, assist with writing/reading and answer other patient and family needs.  At end of life your support is greatly appreciated by our staff and those we serve!

Volunteers will visit patients in their own communities wherever they reside, which may be in their own homes or residential care facilities. Enjoy flexible hours and online training for your convenience, followed by a 1x interactive group wrap-up session in St. Paul.  Allina Health provides care to hospice patients in 33 counties throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
