Respite Care Volunteers Giving Caregivers Relief
4 days ago
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.
