Make Lives Better, Enrich Your Own: Join OnCare Health as a Volunteer

Becoming a hospice volunteer is a deeply meaningful way to make a difference in someone's final chapter of life. Volunteers offer comfort, companionship, and a listening ear to patients and their families during a sacred and vulnerable time. It's a chance to give back, gain perspective, and be part of a compassionate team that values presence, dignity, and human connection. Even a small act-like holding a hand, reading aloud, or simply sitting quietly-can bring profound peace and comfort.

What You'll Do:

As a Volunteer, you'll play a hands-on role in improving the lives of our patients. We assign all tasks based on your comfort and preferences, ensuring a rewarding experience. Your engaging contributions can include:
  • Companionship visits (talking, reading, engaging in community activities, watching TV together).
  • Sitting vigil with patients who are actively dying.
  • Caregiver relief (sitting with patient while loved ones take a break).
  • Playing music or singing.
  • Preparing or mailing sympathy cards and grief materials.
  • Helping with grief support groups (set-up, greet guests).
  • Making blankets, shawls, or comfort items.
  • Assembling sunshine mailings or holiday baskets.
  • Crafting personalized cards or décor for patient rooms.
  • Prayer visits or scripture reading.
  • Guided meditation or mindfulness exercises.
  • Supportive listening and presence during emotional moments.
Requirements

What We're Looking For:

To ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone at OnCare Health, we ask that our volunteers:
  • Are kind, patient, reliable, and eager to share their time and talents
  • Are at least 18 years old.
  • Can successfully complete a satisfactory background check before starting duties.
