Volunteer Opportunity - Southern Care Hospice


Southern Care Hospice is looking for volunteers.  Southern Care works with adult patients with a wide range of medical conditions including but not limited to Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer, COPD, CVA, and CHF  that have a prognosis of 6 months or less. We see patients in their homes, assisted living facilities, and skilled nursing facilities.

 

Volunteers are needed for a wide range of activities including:


Making friendly visits to patients and their families

Providing a listening ear and taking with patients about their life

Reading to patients, playing cards, or participating in other activities with patients.  

Playing music for patients

Running errands for caregivers or sitting with patients for their caregivers to run errands

Assisting with birthday activities or other celebrations for hospice patients

Providing office support

Assisting with bereavement and grief support

Sitting with patients at end of life

 

All volunteers are provided with CPR training.
