Volunteers are essential at Hospice of South Central Indiana to ensure that every moment is meaningful for patients and their families. As a volunteer, you will offer companionship to individuals and families facing advanced illnesses.
Volunteers can provide companionship, social interaction, and emotional support through regular visits. Activities range from spending time with patients to assisting those who prefer not to be alone..
Visits offer a unique opportunity to bond and create cherished memories. Each activity is a chance to learn, grow, and understand one another on a deeper level. Reading together can transport everyone to magical worlds, while playing games fosters teamwork and strategy. Conversations, whether light-hearted or profound, strengthen connections and provide insights into each other's thoughts and feelings. Simply listening shows empathy and support, creating a safe space for sharing. With every visit, the bonds of friendship or family are woven tighter, making these moments truly priceless.
Personal care and medication administration are not part of the volunteer's responsibilities. Volunteers will undergo orientation, training, and continuous education to prepare for their role.
