Hospice Companion Volunteers Needed
1 week ago
St. David’s Hospice & Family Care is actively seeking caring and compassionate volunteers to visit and offer companionship to hospice patients in the Austin area. Hospice patients are in the final stages of their lives, and regular visits from volunteers provide support and comfort. Having someone to talk to, sharing stories or even providing a quiet presence is incredibly valuable and makes a meaningful difference in their lives. Volunteers can also offer respite and downtime for the primary caregiver and other family members.
Activities hospice volunteers can do with patients include: talking, reading aloud, listening to music, watching TV/movies, writing letters, sharing stories, reminiscing about times in their lives, looking at photos, sewing/knitting, playing cards or board games, working puzzles, sharing time, etc. Volunteers are encouraged to share any special skills or talents with patients.
We are looking for volunteers who can make a commitment to volunteer 1-2 hours per week. Volunteer shifts are flexible and tailored to the volunteer’s schedule and availability. We match volunteers with patients that are located close to their home. This opportunity is not a clinical role; therefore, volunteers do not need medical experience. They do not provide any medical care nor do they offer social or spiritual advice. Many of our patients speak Spanish, and Spanish speaking volunteers are needed.
Volunteering an hour or more a week can make a lasting impact on the life of a hospice patient. We hope you will consider becoming a hospice volunteer and joining the St. David’s Hospice team.
For questions, more information or to obtain an application: Contact René Carlin at Roberto.Carlin@HCAHealthcare.com.
