Hospice Family Care Volunteers

Volunteers are a vital part of the Hospice Family Care team. They have been caring for individuals and families like you since our inception in 1979. That is why we refer to them as the Community Care Team.

Each volunteer must submit an application and two reference letters before being interviewed. Once selected, they must pass a background check, drug and health screening, and complete orientation and training. Please note that volunteers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or complete an exemption form. 

We employ a volunteer coordinator to tailor and supervise a volunteer care plan just for you.

Companion

Routine friendly visits are available to provide social and emotional support, as well as adapting your interests and hobbies to increase quality of life.

Vigil Volunteer

Companion volunteers with specialized training provide peace and comfort to those preparing to transition from this life.

Helping Hands

Do you wish you had an extra pair of hands? Helping Hands volunteers are here to ensure the little things don’t overwhelm you.

Bereavement Support

These volunteers provide social and emotional support for adults and children who have experienced grief and loss.
