Volunteer for Allied
At Allied Hospice, we consider the chance to be involved in the lives of our patients and families both a sacred opportunity and a privilege. The love, respect and care our hospice volunteers provide is vitally important to our patients’ overall well-being during challenging times.
Allied Hospice volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform. The tasks of volunteers include:
Helping with office support tasks at the agency
Reading, or providing a comforting touch
Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
Running errands for patients and families
Playing or singing soothing music to patients
Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
These and other tasks are why hospice volunteers are such an essential part of the Allied Hospice Experience.
