Sometimes the most meaningful part of hospice care is simply having someone sit with you. Our volunteers bring company, kindness, and time to patients and families when it matters most. You don’t need medical training. You need a caring heart and a little time.
Ways You Can Help
Companionship
Visit with patients, read aloud, listen to their stories, or simply keep them company.
Caregiver breaks
Stay with a patient so a family member can rest, run an errand, or take a walk.
Pet therapy
Have a gentle, well-behaved pet you’d like to share? Reach out and we’ll talk about whether it’s a good fit.
Office support
Help our team with administrative tasks.
A Little Time Goes a Long Way
Most of our volunteers give an hour or two a month, and we’re flexible about when.
Who Can Volunteer
Adults 18 and older can volunteer on their own. Younger volunteers and groups, such as scout troops and school clubs, are welcome when accompanied by an adult. Call us and we’ll help plan a visit or project.
Safety and Training
-
All volunteers complete a background check. -
Volunteers who spend time with patients also hold an Arizona Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card. We’ll walk you through getting one. -
We provide the training you need before your first visit.
