Grove City, OH, United States Luminary Hospice Full time

Bedside Vigil Volunteer

Luminary Hospice is seeking volunteers to sit with patients during their final hours.

In the last hours of life, a hospice patient may be unresponsive but is likely aware of the presence of a friend in the room. Vigil volunteers sit with hospice patients in their final hours and bring an additional level of comfort to them and their loved ones.

What does a vigil volunteer do?

Vigil (11th hour) volunteers provide comfort - for the patient as well as family and caregivers-simply by being present. Volunteers may play music or read a patient's favorite poems or scripture, or they may sit quietly beside the patient. The time and loving presence provided by a vigil volunteer is profoundly meaningful to our patients and their families.

Our patients live at home or in facilities in theGrove City area.

What if I don’t have any experience?

Luminary Hospice provides exceptional training for its volunteers. Hospice volunteers receive the same orientation as paid staff in addition to their volunteer-specific training. Our training covers hospice history and basics, as well as special considerations surrounding grief, ethics, and bereavement. You only need to bring an open heart and a willingness to serve others, and we will train you.

Why volunteer with us?

We depend on our volunteers to complement the exceptional service that we offer our patients. Volunteershelp us provide end of life care that far exceeds hospice standards and our patients’ and family’s expectations.
