Gentiva Hospice is looking for compassionate hearts to serve our hospice patients/veterans (no medical work experience necessary - we will train you). Our companionship volunteers can serve in a wide array of ways such as:
- Offer Companionship/Emotional/Spiritual Support to veterans on hospice care (in home or nursing facilities)
- Singing/playing music to veterans/patients
- Playing games with veterans/patients
- Watching TV with veterans/patients
- Sit with patients that are actively passing away (not required)
This opportunity is specifically for those wanting to volunteer in the Collins, Mississippi State Veterans Home. Potential volunteers must complete a background check, drug screening, and a Tuberculosis Skin Test (all provided and paid for by Gentiva). We also provide training for volunteers to ensure that they are prepared for their role!
We have no set schedules or shifts. Our volunteers are able to volunteer for whatever works for their schedule. We can even have volunteers on weekends.
