Read our FAQs
Why does someone become a hospice volunteer?
Many volunteer because they and their family have personally benefited from hospice care. They are so grateful for the help they received during a difficult time that they want to give back to the community and help other families who are in need. Others have heard about the great work of hospice and are curious about how they might use their gifts and talents to help others.
What are the requirements for becoming a hospice volunteer?
If you have an open heart and would like to help people who are dealing with serious illness, this is the place for you. Compassion, commitment and caring are all words that describe a hospice volunteer.
What must I do to be accepted for training as a hospice volunteer?
Once you have turned in a completed application we will call you to schedule an interview to learn more about you. We will want to know about your personal history and especially about your own history of loss. We want to make sure you have taken the time you need to take care of yourself before you commit to helping others in their time of need.
What will I be asked to do as a hospice volunteer?
There is no exact job description for a hospice volunteer because each patient is unique. One volunteer may spend time watching a game or playing cards with the patient or family; another may help by running errands or providing respite care while family members take a break. Think of it this way, we tell patients that a volunteer is a friend they just haven't met yet. Volunteers often become a part of the family and help out with whatever is needed.
What kind of a commitment is required of a hospice volunteer?
We ask that you make yourself available to your patient for up to four hours a week. Of course, there may be weeks when it's not possible for you or weeks when your patient doesn't really need your help. You may make one visit or several visits depending on the needs of your patient. We also ask you to document the time you spend with your patient. This information is needed when we ask for support from community organizations. In addition, you will be asked to complete at least eight hours of continuing education each year to maintain your certification as a hospice volunteer. There are many different ways to fulfill this responsibility and have fun in the process.
What kind of support can I expect from the staff of Professional Health Care - Hospice Division?
The staff has worked with you during your training. We know you and we are there for you whenever you have a question or need help. You can call us on the phone or come into the office to talk about your experiences as a hospice volunteer. We will work hard to answer your questions and to do whatever we can to make your volunteer experience rewarding and fulfilling. As a hospice volunteer, you are joining a marvelous group of caring individuals who are united in their desire to make a difference in the world. You are not alone in your work. If you allow it, you will be touched by the experiences of your fellow volunteers. And together, we will make the world a better place.
