Respite Care Volunteers Giving Caregivers Relief

4 days ago


St Louis, MO, United States ACG Hospice Full time

Caregivers are often exhausted, overwhelmed, and trying to do it all alone. You can offer priceless moments of rest by simply being a calm, caring presence with a patient while their caregiver steps away.

As a Respite Companion, you may:

  • Sit bedside and provide watchful companionship
  • Read aloud, share music, or just offer quiet presence
  • Allow caregivers to run errands, sleep, or take a needed break
  • Help preserve family well-being during a tender time

You are not responsible for medical care — just human care.

Volunteering includes:

Free, supportive training

Flexible shifts based on your availability

Guidance from a dedicated volunteer coordinator and end of life doula

Deeply meaningful connection and appreciation

“When you sit with someone, you give the gift of time. When you give a caregiver a break, you give them the strength to keep going.”

Opportunities in homes & care facilities throughout the region

Background check required; no experience needed

Become a lifeline of relief for someone who has been carrying so much love, for so long.

Join our respite volunteer team. Peace begins with presence.
