Volunteer Opportunities
Visiting Nurse invites you to be a Hospice Volunteer!
Visiting Nurse is proud of its well-established volunteer program and is proud to offer the skills and services of 125 trained and dedicated volunteers to serve the many needs of families and patients that are nearing the end of life. Volunteers help patients in their homes and nursing homes and may spend time reading to patients, running errands or giving time off to the patient’s caregiver. Volunteer support is also needed in the 14-bed in-patient Hospice Home. Duties include patient support activities and clerical support. Visiting Nurse has a special need for evening and weekend volunteers, and garden volunteers are needed to help maintain the Seasons of Life garden adjacent to Hospice Home.
