Gentiva Hospice is looking for compassionate hearts to serve our hospice patients/veterans (no medical work experience necessary - we will train you). Our Veteran-to-Veteran Support volunteers can serve in a wide array of ways such as:
- Offer Companionship/Emotional/Spiritual Support to veterans on hospice (in home or nursing facilities)
- Complete and participate in ceremonies to honor veterans on hospice
- Run errands/shopping for veterans on hospice
- Singing/playing music to veterans on hospice
- Playing games with veterans on hospice
- Sit with veterans on hospice/respite for caregivers (no more than 3 hours at a time)
- Light housekeeping for our families
- Providing meals/food to veterans on hospice (based on dietary restrictions)
This opportunity for anyone that has or is currently serving in any branch of the United States Military.
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.
