Volunteer Patient Companion - Friendswood - VitalCaring Hospice
Description
THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF A HOSPICE VOLUNTEER
Volunteers perform many important duties. Whether providing companionship in a patient's home, assisting with special events, or helping with other meaningful tasks, volunteers play a vital role in allowing hospice to meet the needs of the community more fully.
HOW DO HOSPICE VOLUNTEERS HELP?
Hospice volunteers are essential in providing the level of care and support that patients and their loved ones expect from hospice services. The primary goal of a hospice volunteer is to offer empathy, compassion, and companionship to both the patient and their family during difficult times.
Volunteer duties vary depending on the needs of the patient and family. In addition to patient support, volunteers may also assist through community outreach activities, fundraising, or administrative tasks. Through participation and engagement, hospice volunteers find deep value in serving patients, families, and their community.
THE BENEFITS OF HOSPICE VOLUNTEERS
The importance of hospice volunteers should never be overlooked. Volunteers provide layers of support that extend beyond medical care, including:
These services greatly enhance the quality of life for patients and their loved ones.
COMMUNICATION
Volunteers can be a valuable link between the patient, family, and hospice care team, helping ensure that concerns are communicated and care is coordinated smoothly.
ADMINISTRATIVE VOLUNTEERING
In addition to working directly with patients, volunteers can help hospice operations in many other ways, including:
There truly is something for everyone.
HOSPICE VOLUNTEER TRAINING
All volunteers must complete training to ensure they are prepared and confident in their roles. While training may vary depending on assignments, all volunteers receive core instruction that includes:
This training ensures volunteers are well-equipped to provide compassionate, high-quality support.
